Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born on the island of Martinique, the romantic Josephine found herself at the center of events that would forever change the world. In 1856, writer P.C. Headley released the thrilling biography of the famed Joséphine, Empress of the French from 1804-1810, famed romantic, and renowned patron of the arts. After her first husband, Alexandre de Beauharnais, met the guillotine in 1794, the beautiful widow with two children embarked on an unlikely romantic relationship with one of history's most notorious men. This restored edition of Headley's classic features: - Enlarged 7" x 10" pages for easy reading - Author's original page layouts - Classic weathered type font - New retro-style cover design Josephine was a model of character. Headley wrote her biography to make the study of her life more general, and to extend the admiration of her pure beauty in contrast to all the forms of corruption that humanity could present in a period of bloody Revolution. He felt that "The Empress was a greater personage than Napoleon in the elements of moral grandeur, and retained her sovereignty in the hearts of the people, while he ruled by the unrivaled splendor of his genius." "The name Josephine is invested with a romantic and mournful interest. From the quiet life of her island-home, she rose to the splendor of royalty which borrowed lustre from her virtues; then, heart-broken, found retirement where, with a meek resignation that contrasts beautifully with the untamed ambition of the illustrious exile of St. Helena, she lived till her death."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empress Josephine, Napoleon's Enchantress: Hutchinson's Library of Standard Lives Writing in 1887, after a trip to Fort-de-France, formerly Fort-Royal, capital of the West Indian island of Martinique, the late Lafcadio Heam remarks that the town has little of outward interest apart from the Savane, the great green public square. But that, continues Hearn in his most enthusiastic strain, would be worth the visit alone, even were it not made romantic by the marble memory of Josephine: "I went to look at the white dream of her there, a creation of master-sculptors. It seemed to me absolutely lovely. Sea-winds had bitten it; tropical rains had streaked it; some microscopic growth has darkened the exquisite hollow of the throat. And yet such is the human charm of the figure that you almost fancy you are gazing at a living presence. Perhaps the profile is less artistically real - statuesque to the point of betraying the chisel; but when you look straight up into the sweet Creole face, you can believe she lives: all the wonderful West Indian charm of the woman is there. She is standing just in front of the Savane, robed in the fashion of the First Empire, with gracious arms and shoulders bare: one hand leans upon a medallion bearing the eagle profile of Napoleon. Seven tall palms stand in a circle around her, lifting their comely heads into the blue glory of the tropic day.

What would she have said now on reading how her mother is maligned in certain works to which a frivolous public attaches an import ance they do not deserve. No one, it is true, is a good judge in his own cause, and whatever the Wife of Louis Bonaparte may say, the Count de las Cases may have been a more faithful interpreter of the conversations at St Helena than the former Queen of Holland seems disposed to believe.
