Je le dis et je l'assume : vive Napoléon III et vive l'empire.

Bon plus sérieusement, ça nous apprend parfaitement les enjeux et la politiques de Napoléon III. Je conseil fortement.

Quite liked this, it was the book I think I was hoping Shadow Emperor would be. Much more on the project of Second Empire Bonapartism, its evolving contours and constituencies, and how it tried to govern a country that is quite hard to govern. A bit of a challenge for my rusty French but not a hard read, either.

Un llibre que necessita un gran coneixement previ de la història de França al XIX segle o una constant consulta de qui és qui.

Ce livre explique 'pourquoi toute polémique sur les mérites ou les erreurs de Napoléon III n'a pas de sens: les vingt années de pouvoir impérial sont étroitement inscrites dans le droit fil de l'évolution politique, économique, sociale, culturelle de la France pendant le siècle du charbon et de l'acier. On ne peut que constater l'accélération sensible dans plusieurs domaines, et l'amorce très prononcées des sillons du futur.'
