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.
