About This Book

Un memoir in cui la narratrice combina ricordi personali della corte napoletana con una cronaca degli sconvolgimenti politici e militari della Rivoluzione francese e delle campagne napoleoniche. Racconta la progressiva ascesa di un giovane generale, le vittorie sul continente, i trattati e le reazioni delle corti europee, e mostra come queste vicende influenzarono decisioni diplomatiche, proclami e timori tra i potenti. Intervallate a resoconti di battaglie e capitolazioni di piazze forti, compaiono riflessioni sulle conseguenze pratiche per governi e popolazioni, nonché sull'urgenza emotiva e politica che animava chi stava ai vertici del potere.
