Mühlbach is a historical account written in the late 19th century that explores the life of Hortense Beauharnais, the daughter of Empress Josephine and the stepdaughter of Napoleon Bonaparte. The narrative unfolds during a tumultuous period marked by revolution and change, focusing on Hortense's personal journey through sorrow, triumph, and artistic expression against the backdrop of a shifting political landscape. The opening of the book introduces readers to Hortense as a poignant figure amid the Napoleonic era, recounting her childhood marred by family misfortune and the upheaval of the French Revolution. We learn of Hortense's early experiences, including her mother Josephine's trials, her father's execution, and the hardships faced by the dethroned Bonaparte family. Mühlbach paints a vivid portrait of Hortense's resilience and grace, showcasing her talent in poetry and music, including the creation of famous pieces like "Va t'en, Guerrier." The opening chapters set the stage for a narrative that promises to delve deeper into Hortense's life as she navigates love, loss, and her identity as a Bonaparte while enduring the vicissitudes of her age.
