Description
The Empress Josephine is a historical sketch of the days of Napoleon, written by L. Muhlbach. The book provides a detailed account of the life of Josephine, who was the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Empress of France. The story begins with Josephine's childhood and follows her life through her marriage to Napoleon, their reign as Emperor and Empress of France, and ultimately their divorce. The book also explores the political and social climate of the time, including the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon. With vivid descriptions and historical accuracy, The Empress Josephine offers readers a glimpse into the life of one of the most fascinating women in history.1905. Muhlbach is the pseudonym of Mrs. Luise Mundt. Writing as Muhlbach she produced more than fifty novels and her works in their entirety comprise almost one hundred volumes. Her historical romance novels are where the author's fame rests. The book begins: I win the battles, Josephine wins me the hearts. These words of Napoleon are the most beautiful epitaph of the Empress Josephine, the much-loved, the much-regretted, and the much-slandered one. Even while Napoleon won battles, while with lofty pride he placed his foot on the neck of the conquered, took away from princes their crowns, and from nations their liberty-while Europe trembling bowed before him, and despite her admiration cursed him-while hatred heaved up the hearts of all nations against him-even then none could refuse admiration to the tender, lovely woman who, with the gracious smile of goodness, walked at his side; none could refuse love to the life of the conqueror, whose countenance of brass received light and lustre from the beautiful eyes of Josephine, as Memnon's statue from the rays of the sun.
