Napoleon: A Life Told in Gardens and Shadows

byRuth Scurr

Focused on a Life Told in Gardens and Shadows, Napolean brings Ruth Scurr's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
