Opis

A study of the tiny tropical island of St Helena and the legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte who lived there in exile for the final six years of his life. It follows him through the eyes of those who lived with him, who guarded him, who managed only to catch a brief glimpse of him, alive or dead.

Recenzje
