Description
In October 1814, Napoleon Bonaparte arrived on St. Helena and began the melancholy exile that would last until his death six years later. The story of a deposed emperor holding court in an island prison would be fascinating enough, but the author interweaves it with a history of St. Helena itself and with a personal account of her own voyage in search of Napoleon’s essence. Thus, she gives us a superb work of travel writing, filled with historical and environmental resonances.
