NAPOLEON’S BROTHER: THE UNTOLD STORY OF LUCIEN BONAPARTE
Book ID/图书代码: 03540010B41854
English Summary/英文概要: A Story of Brotherhood, Passion and Power.
A compelling, intimate portrait of the Bonapartes, delving into the conflicted relationship between Napoleon and his beloved brother Lucien.
Lucien was the most talented of the Bonaparte brothers, who not only can be credited for helping Napoleon seize power, but who had a promising political career of his own. He was a romantic, an idealist, and an anti-monarchist whose love for Alexandrine, the woman he married in spite of Napoleon’s objections, caused him to fall out of favor with his powerful brother. Here, authors Simonetta and Arikha draw from a massive trove of first-hand documents, allowing them to present a rare detailed portrait of this remarkable dynasty, revealing Emperor Napoleon and his family at their most intimate and vulnerable moments.
The turbulent relationship between Napoleon and his favorite brother Lucien, of whom the Emperor said: "of all my siblings, he was the most gifted, and the one who hurt me most," creates the perfect springboard to illustrate the bloody power struggles, romantic idealism and corruption that characterized nineteenth century Europe, as well as the rise and fall of the French empire.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 一个有关兄弟情谊、激情和权利的故事。
对波拿巴兄弟引人入胜、近距离剖析,研究了拿破仑和他心爱的弟弟吕西安之间的冲突关系。
吕西安是波拿巴众兄弟中最有才华的一,不仅帮助拿破仑夺取政权,而且自身也有一个前途光明的政治生涯。他是一个浪漫兼理想主义者,也是一个反君主者。他对亚历山大的爱使他不顾拿破仑的反对与其结婚,最终导致他失去强大的哥哥拿破仑的支持。在这里,作者阿里卡和塞蒙内塔借鉴大量第一手资料,呈现了这一卓越王朝罕见细节,揭示了拿破仑帝王和他的家人之间关系最亲密和最脆弱的时光。
拿破仑自己评论和他最喜欢的弟弟吕西安之间动荡不定的关系时说:“我所有的兄弟姐妹中,他是最有天赋的,也是伤害我最深的。”也是这种关系,创造血腥权力斗争的完美跳板,造就了以浪漫理想主义和腐败为特色的十九世纪欧洲以及法国帝国的崛起和衰落。(兼职翻译-JDM)
