Napoleon Symphony, Paperback / softback Book

Napoleon Symphony Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

A grand and tragi-comic symphony to Napoleon Bonaparte, this novel unteases and reweaves Napoleon's life - from the first great days of his campaigns in 1796 to exile and death on St.

Helena a quarter of a century later. Burgess' Bonaparte is a cuckold, afflicted with heartburn and halitosis while enacting a wily seduction of Tsar Alexander, conquering Egypt and crowning himself Emperor.

Witty, sardonic, intellectual, Napoleon Symphony is Burgess at his most challenging and inventive.

In creating a novel based on a musical form, Burgess is playing with structure, from the grand, ambitious shape of the novel itself, through to the finer composition of each sentence.
