This is quite a good short novel about a French aristocrat, de Laval, in exile in Kent after the revolution, who returns to serve Napoleon as he is convinced that the Corsican is the epitomy of the spririt of France. There is some good drama here, with chases across misty marshes, treachery, double dealing, murder and (a small amount of) romance. Although de Laval is the hero of the novel, the real central character is Napoleon himself and he is depicted quite clearly in all his colossal strengths and humam foibles, being both worshipped and feared. The ending was perhaps slightly rushed and trite, but this was good stuff. Incidentally, there is a soldier here called Gerard, but he is a real historical character and not the hero of Conan Doyle's short stories about a fictional Brigadier Gerard. 4/5 ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Though acclaimed as the writer of the Sherlock Holmes series of detective stories, Arthur Conan Doyle also wrote a series of mysteries set in past historical eras. Uncle Bernac: A Memory of the Empire offers an insightful glimpse into the manners and mores of the Napoleonic age, as well as a heaping helping of the suspense for which the author is best known. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
