Les aventures militaires et galantes d’un aide de camp de Napoléon, mêlé aux
intrigues politiques entre l’Empereur,
le Tsar Alexandre et François d’Autriche. To Marcellin Marbot, a Hussar lieutenant and Napoleon's aide-de-camp, the imperial saga is an exciting succession of dangerous fights and random charming amorous conquests. Until the day when, returning to Paris for the Emperor’s coronation, he falls in love with a beautiful and mysterious stranger, who only gives him her christian name : Klara. During the ceremonies, Marbot catches sight of Klara, in the distance : she is in the company of Czermazov, czar Alexander's aide-de-camp. A few days later,when he learns hat the man is a Russian spy planning an insurrection against Napoleon with the help of Tugenbund, a secret association, young Marcellin wonders whether the young girls is part of it. Which link may bind Klara to Alexander's aide-de-camp, who is closely watched by Savary, the chief of the Imperial Police ? Yet, brought away by the winds of war, Marcellin already rides to other fights and other conquests, from Madrid to Wagram, from Eylau to the Berezina. In Dresden, in 1813, Napoleon receives the mysterious Klara. Apparently well versed in the plots and secrets of the Vienna Government, she offers Napoleon the mediating intervention of Franz of Austria so as to bring peace between him and the rest of Europe rebelling against him. When the Bourbons return to power, conspiracies, duels and plots bring the hero back to a Paris close to insurrection, while Napoleon is drawing his plans to come back from the Elb Island. Marbot keeps his revolutionary cockade under his shako and the eagle insign is in his pouch. Everyone is waiting for the return of he who once said « Remember that I could come back here on some spring day, with newly grown violets ». |
