Robert B. Asprey: The Reign of Napoleon Bonaparte

The Reign of Napoleon Bonaparte


Description

Robert Asprey completes his definitive, two-volume biography with an intimate, fast-paced look at Napoleon's daring reign and tragic demise with more of the personality and passion that marked the first volume of this cradle to the grave biography. In The Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, Asprey showed us that Napoleon was not the father of chaos, but rather an heir to it. In this companion volume, we see Napoleon struggling to subdue the turmoil. We peer over Napoleon's shoulder as he solidifies his growing empire through a series of marriages, military victories, and shrewd diplomatic manipulations. We watch Napoleon lose control of his empire, plot his return from Elba, rally peasants in his march to Paris, endure defeat at Waterloo and suffer exile and a lonely death on the island of St. Helena. Robert Asprey tells this fascinating, tragic tale in lush narrative detail.

From the creators of "Vintage Cocktails" and "It's a Wonderful Christmas" comes a book full of household hints and wonderful full-color vintage art. "Classic Household Hints" goes back to the tried and true tips of yesteryear and offers the reader hundreds of hints on everything from cleaning and organizing to buying and handling food. Picking Avocados: Ripe avocados are soft to the touch. Unfortunately, so are bruised avocados. To tell the difference, try flicking away the stem button (at the narrow end of the fruit) with your finger. If it falls off easily, the avocado is ripe. If the avocado is soft but the stem doesn't come off, it's probably bruised, and you should pass it by. Want the freshest eggs in the store? Pick the ones whose shells feel roughest to the touch. Is that expensive floor wax remover you bought laying down on the job? Simple ammonia will do the trick. In addition, advertisement quotes ("If your husband comes home in a bad mood, delight him with a clean house and a sandwich.") 100 Property Investment Tips: Learn from the Experts and Accelerate Your Success download ebook pdf are also included making it a fun to read gift book as well as a practical guide to a sparkling home.
