| Summary | "Napoleon's Letters to Josephine, 1796-1812" by Emperor of the French Napoleon I is a collection of personal correspondence written in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This compilation provides a unique glimpse into the intimate life and emotions of Napoleon Bonaparte as he navigates his tumultuous relationship with his wife, Josephine Beauharnais, during a period marked by his rising political and military prominence. The letters explore themes of love, longing, and the pressures of leadership, illustrating Napoleon's passionate feelings as well as his vulnerabilities. At the start of the collection, Napoleon writes fervently to Josephine, expressing his deep affection and anxiety over her well-being during his military campaigns. His letters reveal a man consumed by love, often torn between his duties and his desire to be with her. He conveys a mixture of devotion and jealousy, coupled with a constant yearning to hear from her. The opening letters set the tone for the correspondence that follows, combining political context with personal sentiment, painting a multifaceted portrait of one of history’s most renowned figures through the lens of his relationship with Josephine.
