Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt: ""That settles it," said Napoleon. "It's to be war. I'm willing to divide creation with England, but two's company and three's a crowd, and the Russian Bear must keep his paws off. I will go to Italy, Bourrienne, collect a few more thrones, and then we'll get to work on a new map of Europe. Russia never did look well or graceful on the existing maps...."" By the American author and satirist, and the creator of modern Bangsian fantasy.Very funny spoof biography of Napoleon, almos Marx-esque at some moments. (Goodreads)
