- Napoleon : a life / by Zamoyski, Adam,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 671-728) and index."The definitive biography of Napoleon, revealing the true man behind the legend. The story of Napoleon has been written many times. In some versions, he is a military genius, in others a war-obsessed tyrant. Here, historian Adam Zamoyski cuts through the mythology and explains Napoleon against the background of the European Enlightenment, and what he was himself seeking to achieve. This most famous of men is also the most hidden of men, and Zamoyski dives deeper than any previous biographer to find him. Beautifully written, Napoleon brilliantly sets the man in his European context." --- Subjects: Biographies.; Napoleon I, Emperor of the French, 1769-1821.; France. Armée; Napoleonic Wars, 1800-1815.;

- The book of thorns / by Fox, Hester,author.;
"Penniless and stranded in France after a bid to escape her cruel uncle goes awry, Cornelia Shaw is far from the Parisian life of leisure she imagined. Desperate and lacking options, she allows herself to be recruited to Napoleon's Grande Armée. As a naturalist, her near-magical ability to heal any wound with herbal mixtures invites awe amongst the soldiers ... and suspicion. For behind Cornelia's vast knowledge of the natural world is a secret she keeps hidden-the flowers speak to her through a mysterious connection she has felt since childhood. One that her mother taught her to heed, before she disappeared. Then, as Napoleon's army descends on Waterloo, the flowers sing to her of a startling revelation: a girl who bears a striking resemblance to Cornelia. A girl she almost remembers-her sister, lost long ago, who seems to share the same gifts. Determined to reunite with Lijsbeth despite being on opposite sides of the war, Cornelia is drawn into a whirlwind of betrayal, secrets, and lies. Brought together by fate and magic at the peak of the war, the sisters try to uncover the key to the source of the power that connects them as accusations of witchcraft swirl and threaten to destroy the very lives they've fought for."--Dust jacket flap.- Subjects: Historical fiction.; Magic realist fiction.; Novels.; Plants; Secrecy; Sisters; Waterloo, Battle of, Waterloo, Belgium, 1815; Women healers; Women naturalists;
