Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed insight into the marriages that were arranged by Napoleon Bonaparte for his siblings and adopted family members, as well as the two marriages he entered into himself. From a military and administrative perspective, Napoleon was a prodigious figure, completing military campaigns at an astonishing rate and passing laws at an equally impressive pace. In this book, the author delves into Napoleon's lesser-known role as a matrimonial agent. The author argues that, from an early age, Napoleon viewed marriage as a means of advancing himself and his family, and indeed this book explores the strategic marriages that consolidated his dynasty and connected him to some of Europe's oldest and noblest families. Whilst the author acknowledges that Napoleon was brutal and ruthless in his pursuit of power, he also seeks to provide balance by highlighting Napoleon's romantic side, drawing on letters written to and by the emperor and his wives. The book also includes a fascinating exploration of Napoleon's personal views on women and marriage, examining his belief that women were inferior and existed solely to serve men and produce children for them.
