Description
Les sœurs de Napoléon ont eu une influence beaucoup plus grande qu'on ne le croit généralement sur la marche des événements pendant le règne de leur frère. « Tout parti périt par les femmes », a dit Michelet ; le régime impérial doit en partie sa chute aux sœurs de Napoléon. C’est l'une d'elles, Caroline, qui est la cause originelle directe des désastres de l'Empire ; c'est elle aussi qui, en 1814, donna le coup de grâce à l'empereur, à la France. Ce n'est donc pas pour le vulgaire plaisir d'étaler aux yeux du public les faiblesses et les scandales de la vie de ces courtisanes couronnées qui furent les sœurs de Napoléon, que j'ai écrit ce livre, mais c'est pour déterminer la part de responsabilité qui revient à chacune d'elles dans la chute de l'édifice construit par « l'homme des siècles. » (Extrait de la préface) Tome 1 : Elisa Tome 2 : Pauline Tome 3 : Caroline
