Writing - A Forgotten Art,
By A Customer
This review is from: Napoleon: Man of War, Man of Peace (Hardcover)
This is a compliliation of some of the worst writing I have even seen, which seems to be leading nowhere. If there is a theme, which has yet to emerge three-quarters into the book, it is buried in sentences such as: "In one part of Northern Europe, however, little was only briefly large."Only if that sentence means something to you would I recommend buying it.

It's been done before by the same author,
By danny boy "dbswongv" (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Napoleon: Man of War, Man of Peace (Hardcover)
The author has an earlier book which I have entitled "Napoleon and his Artists" covering most of the same ground.
I did not buy this book for the above reason and a quick browse confirmed that suspicion. Thus this book rehashes almost the same topics - Napoleon's life, his achievements especially in the artistic sphere and thru Josephine's patronage, his relations with the savants, during and after the Egyptian campaign, specific anecdotes on Vivant Denon, Jean L Gros,and of course Jacques L David. Nothing new. |
