When she met and captivated Napoleon Bonaparte in 1795 Josephine de Beauharnais 1763-1814 was a Martinique-born widow of an aristocrat who had died in the Reign of Terror. Josephine married the general in January of 1796 despite the fact that she was a shocking six years his senior. In this biography the British writer C. S. Forester 1899-1966 best known for his beloved Horatio Hornblower series portrays the empress with great sympathy. Sanford V. Sternlicht notes that in telling the dramatic story of her rise to the imperial throne and her fall when she was unable to produce an heir for the emperor "Forester almost treats Josephine as a fictional character as he finely draws a portrait of a poorly educated but clever woman who . . . rolls with the punches of fate and outlives her foes." The so-called "Cosway" binding featuring handsome morocco inset with one or more painted miniatures apparently originated with the London bookselling firm of Henry Sotheran about 1909. It was in that year that G. C. Williamson's book entitled "Richard Cosway" dealing with the British miniature painter of that name 1742-1821 was remaindered by Sotheran and presumably given this special decorative treatment. The name "Cosway" was then used to describe any book so treated whoever its author. Although the artist of our miniature is unidentified the work here is remarkably well done with carefully painted detail showing the empress at the prime of her life bedecked with emeralds pearls and rubies but with a sadness in her large brown eyes that foreshadows the heartbreak to come.

Le MÂŽmorial de Sainte-HÂŽlÂne I & II.

1964312881964. S.l. Gallimard / BibliothÂque de la PlÂŽiade 1956 et 1957. 2 forts vol. au format in-12 178 x 107 mm de cxiii - 1.229 pp. ; Reliures uniformes de l'ÂŽditeur de plein skyvertex vert-empire dos lisses ornÂŽs d'un filet d'encadrement dorÂŽ jeu de filets dorÂŽs titre dorÂŽ tomaison dorÂŽe tÂtes grises sous jaquettes et rhodoÂ•ds. Ensemble complet des deux volumes le constituant. Texte majeur fondant les bases du bonapartisme Le MÂŽmorial de Sainte-HÂŽlÂne constitue un recueil des mÂŽmoires de NapolÂŽon que Las Cases a rÂŽdigÂŽ au grÂŽ d'entretiens quotidiens avec l'Empereur lors de son sÂŽjour Âˆ Sainte-HÂŽlÂne. Cristallisant regrets et nostalgie le texte prÂŽsente NapolÂŽon comme le continuateur de la RÂŽvolution mÂž par l'intention de permettre au peuple que d'accÂŽder au bonheur. Cet ouvrage contient l'essentiel des rÂŽflexions de NapolÂŽon sur sa jeunesse le rÂŽcit de ses campagnesÃ‰ ainsi que les vicissitudes de sa captivitÂŽ Âˆ Sainte-HÂŽlÂne. Notamment Las Cases y est particuliÂrement critique de la politique du gouverneur Hudson Lowe ce qui lui vaudra d'avoir son manuscrit saisi lors de son dÂŽpart de l'Â”le en fin 1816 et la restitution de ce document qu'aprÂs la Mort de NapolÂŽon en 1821. ''Cas exceptionnel dans l'Histoire NapolÂŽon est parvenu au travers de ce livre Âˆ modifier son image. Ce MÂŽmorial rappelant sa gloire passÂŽe tout comme sa misÂre Âˆ Sainte-HÂŽlÂne Ã‰ Dans le MÂŽmorial NapolÂŽon se posait en champion des idÂŽes libÂŽrales et nationales en martyr de la Sainte-Alliance. Les rÂŽvolutions de 1830 se firent souvent au cri de "Vive NapolÂŽon !" Celui-ci avait ainsi rÂŽussi par lÃ•entremise de Las Cases Âˆ confisquer au profit de sa cause les deux forces montantes du XIXe siÂcle''.Jean Tulard En franÂais dans le texte nÂ¡ 235. Jaunissement affectant l'un des rhodoÂ•ds. Coiffe supÂŽrieure de chacune des jaquettes lÂŽgÂrement ÂŽlimÂŽe. Du reste bonne condition. b42961 unknown
