Synopsis
Excerpt from La Duchesse d'Abrantès
Parlant du prestige, du charme de l'empe reur auquel nul ne pouvait se dérober Ce n'était parfois qu'un regard, un sourire. Mais dans l'un était tout le feu du ciel, dans l'autre sa douceur. Par une recherche généalogique peut - être un peu subtile, la duchesse d'abrantès nous apprend qu'un lien ancien prêtait une origine commune a la famille Bonaparte et à la famille des princes de Comnène dont était sa mère. Née en 1784, la duchesse a connu Napoléon dans son enfance, à l'époque où celui qui devait occuper une si grande place dans l'histoire du monde était élève boursier à l'école militaire.
