The death of Napoleon : a novella
Leys, Simon, 1935-20142006
Book
In this sardonic fable, Napoleon escapes from imprisonment on the Isle of St Helena. Leys writes an elegant, precise prose that ironically evokes the Napoleonic age. His tale can be read as a parable on the folly of hero-worship, the perils of self justifying notions and the vanity of all human striving.
