This is a remarkable historical novel with Napoleon Bonaparte for its hero.
Mr. Bailey writes of the times when the spirit of man, long cheated and chained, broke fiercely forth and swept the old tyrant powers away, and made France a clean land where freemen can live.
Out of chaos men cried for order and law. And then came Napoleon—the brain of a god and a mean man’s heart.
Of Napoleon, of the men and women who loved him sometimes, the author writes in this book; how their lines crossed and clashed under the fool’s tyranny of Old France amid the rushing, murderous mad pageant of the Terror, and again, and yet again, when Napoleon had won power and glory and worship and hate and pity.
Mr. H. C. Bailey’s book is a masterpiece; perhaps one of the very great historical novels of modern days.
