The living story of man's most beautiful creation, with glimpses, through the centuries, of the pageant that led to Notre Dame.
A pretty good book considering that it was written in the ridiculous literary style that was so popular during the twenties & thirties. In parts, it was rather informative, such as when relating the anxieties of Josephine, or Napoleon’s battles in Egypt, & at Waterloo. But in some other places, it completely overlooked major details of the life of Napoleon. It does not even mention the affair with Desiree, or his absurd proposal to Madame Permon. It is another, one of the few books, that maintain Josephine’s innocence despite appearances. The visit of Countess Waleska to Elba is mentioned, but her son was overlooked completely.
Particularly detailed & touching was the part describing the death of Josephine. It is one of the best-written scenes in the book.… (more)
