This book explores the grandeur and intricacies of the imperial court during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife, Josephine. It delves into the fascinating dynamics, rivalries, and political maneuvers of a court characterized by its dazzling displays of power and wealth, as well as the ephemeral nature of such glory.

It discusses the transition from the tumultuous atmosphere of the French Revolution to the establishment of the imperial court, emphasizing the tensions among Napoleon’s family, the courtiers, and the public.
