Les aventures intrépides de deux aides de camp de Bonaparte dans une Europe où s’affrontent des forces gigantesques : la démesure d’un génie et l’irréductible tenacité d’une nation, l’Angleterre. In twelve narratives, you will be associated with two ardent, generous, loyal, creative young people. They are friends and aides-de-camp or military attendants of Napoleon. The youngest, Lorenzo, and his elder companion, Philibert Kilmain, of Irish origin, touchy, firm, full of irony, thwart the plots, escape traps and encounter love.
They are fully devoted to the sovereign whom they admire while sometimes disapproving of him. Their missions, their adventures lead them through Europe, from Saint-Petersburg to Madrid, from Paris to Naples.
They face the Chouans, Calabrian bandits, Cossacks, and the murderers of a Czar. The explosion of the infernal machine transforms Lorenzo into a visionary of the fall of the Emperor that, on the roads of Spain at war, Philibert anticipates.
The feminine figures are not absent, among which the enigmatic Véronique de Blay and the fragile Isabel Godoy, the candid Anais and the princess B, liberated and sensual, the heroine of “la Lettre de Saint Pétersbourg”.
