“Army. France. Josephine,” Napoleon said before his death. Although he was forced to divorce his first wife due to her childlessness, the Emperor loved the Empress to the end of his days and died with her name on his lips. They say that even in her youth this short Creole could not be called a beauty, but under the gaze of her witchy eyes with incredibly long eyelashes, hearing her exciting low voice, men lost their heads. They say she was “immoral to the core,” but Josephine was simply in a hurry to live, forgetting about past hardships, because before meeting Napoleon she had to go through all the circles of female hell: an unsuccessful marriage, contemptuous inattention from her first husband, lack of money, even prison... They say , she married General Bonaparte, who was six years younger than her, by calculation - he paid her huge debts, she introduced him to high society - but as soon as his passion cooled a little, Josephine’s hot blood took its toll - about scenes of jealousy, which she threw at the Emperor, all of France gossiped, and his family scandals became famous no less than his high-profile victories. Napoleon himself once said that he never knew how to cope with women, but Russia is also feminine... Read the new novel from the bestselling author of “Princess Olga”, “Nefertiti” and “Cleopatra” - the amazing story of the first French Empress, who kept “under heel" of Bonaparte himself!
