Nel Portogallo del primo Settecento dominato da Inquisizione e auto da fé, incrociano i loro destini personaggi opposti e complementari. In questo prodigioso romanzo storico e d'invenzione, utopia e morte, riso e tragedia, affresco corale e struggente vicenda personale, immaginazione sfrenata e spirito critico si coniugano nella voce, ironica e compassionevole assieme, del narratore messo di fronte all'ipocrisia e all'arroganza dei tempi, ma anche ai primi sintomi di un rinnovamento sociale e culturale.

Parlare di Napoleone vuol dire confrontarsi con un gigante. Come ha potuto un semplice adolescente originario della Corsica, basso, gracile, fisicamente molto ordinario, divenire, nel giro di due decenni, prima console, poi Imperatore di Francia e poi il terrore dell'Europa intera? Usando le parole di Manzoni, dalle Alpi alle Piramidi, dal Manzanarre al Reno, il dominio di Napoleone Bonaparte è stato davvero irripetibile.

These two artists inspired fervent followings like no other artists before them. The affective response of those touched by the potency of the physical presence of their art—works, personal effects, and remains—or even touched by the power of their creative legacy—opened up new avenues for artistic fame, divination, and commemoration.
