La vita segreta di Giuseppina Bonaparte - The Secret Life of Josephine: Napoleon's Bird of Paradise - Italian Edition
Author: Carolly Erickson, Anna Luisa Zazo (Translator)

Giuseppina è ancora giovanissima quando lascia la sua famiglia e la colonia francese della Martinica, dove è nata e cresciuta, per sposare l'arrogante aristocratico Alexandre de Beauharnais. Nonostante la nascita di due figli, la loro unione non è felice e, durante i turbolenti anni della Rivoluzione francese e del Terro... more »re, Giuseppina conosce la povertà e l'orrore della prigionia, rischiando addirittura la ghigliottina.

Il suo fascino esotico e la sua inarrestabile ambizione la sorreggono però anche nei momenti più difficili, sino all'incontro con Napoleone Bonaparte, che cambierà per sempre il suo destino. Mentre lui domina sulla scena politica e sui campi di battaglia, creando un impero sterminato e incoronando se stesso e la moglie imperatori di Francia, lei diviene l'incontrastata regina dell'alta società grazie al suo irresistibile magnetismo fatto di eleganza, charme, forza e vulnerabilità.

Ma dietro le apparenze si nasconde una realtà ben diversa: il cuore di Giuseppina appartiene a un altro uomo, il misterioso straniero che l'aveva conquistata molti anni prima in Martinica e che lei non può dimenticare.

The bestselling author of The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette and The Last Wife of Henry VIII returns with an enchanting novel about one of the most seductive women in history: Josephine Bonaparte, first wife of Napoleon.

Born on the Caribbean island of Martinique, Josephine had an exotic Creole appeal that would ultimately propel her to reign over an empire as wife of the most powerful man in the world. But her life is a story of ambition and danger, of luck and a ferocious will to survive. Married young to an arrogant French aristocrat who died during the Terror, Josephine also narrowly missed losing her head to the guillotine. But her extraordinary charm, sensuality, and natural cunning helped her become mistress to some of the most powerful politicians in post-Revolutionary France. Soon she had married the much younger General Bonaparte, whose armies garnered France an empire that ran from Europe to Africa and the New World and who crowned himself and his wife Emperor and Empress of France. He dominated on the battlefield and she presided over the worlds of fashion and glamor. But Josephine's heart belonged to another man -- the mysterious, compelling stranger who had won her as a girl in Martinique.
