Title: The Conversation - Jean d'Ormesson - book
Summary :
One evening in the winter of 1803-1804, at the Tuileries. An imaginary conversation between Bonaparte and his second consul, friend and confidant, Jean-Jacques Régis de Cambacérès. At the height of the tension between the revolutionary spirit and the greed for power, the victor of Arcole attempts to rally his accomplice to his convictions. A single desire drives the republican hero: to build his legend. The empire, he will demonstrate eloquently, is the republic ascending the throne.
"This moment of imagined history is truer than many scrupulous accounts."
Laurent Joffrin – The Obs
"Jean d'Ormesson captures this fragile moment when one man's ambition changes the course of the world."
