Napoleon Symphony
Anthony Burgess
Napoleon Symphony
In this deeply serious and sparklingly comical novel Anthony Burgess employs the structure of Beethoven's Eroica as he romps through the contradictory life of Napoleon, from the first great days of his campaigns in 1796 to his exile and death on St Helena a quarter of a century later. Sardonic, heroic, tragic and comic, Napoleon Symphony shows Burgess at his most challenging and inventive.
