Beschreibung:
'This is not perhaps the real Napoleon, but it's certainly a remarkable creation that leaps off the page.' - Jack Kerridge, The Sunday Telegraph In The Hundred Days, Joseph Roth provides a poignant look at Napoleon's seemingly triumphant return to Paris from exile in March 1815. The story of Napoleon's last grasp at glory is framed both through the eyes of the Emperor himself and an infatuated young imperial laundress named Angelina Pietri. Before long, one hundred days have elapsed and war and truth have crushed the lofty dreams of both Napoleon and little Angelina. Originally published in 1935, and out of print in English for seventy years, The Hundred Days achieves Roth's aim of sending the legendary Napoleon Bonaparte out of the lofty clouds and crashing down to earth.
