Napoleon and His Parents: On the Threshold of History - Dorothy Carrington [epub] Does anything remain to be said about Napoleon, the man who has inspired more books than any other figure in history? Dorothy Carrington suggests that the answer is yes, with her study allowing her to present a new and surprising story of Napoleon’s first sixteen years. Was Carlo, his father, as futile and incapable as has been supposed? Was his mother, Letizia, as irreproachably austere? Documents that could have told another tale remained hidden away in Corsican homes and archives, too little known and too fragmentary to discredit the accepted story. And all this time, and till today, an essential source remained unexploited: the Bonaparte family papers, saved from the destruction of their home when they fled Corsica in 1793, and inherited by Prince Louis Napoleon. Access to this invaluable collection has led to a story very different from any hitherto presented; one which, if incomplete, and at moments obscure, is unquestionably closer to what really happened. Dorothy Carrington (1910-2002) studied at Oxford University before settling in Corsica where she began a career as a writer. She was known for her award-winning book on her home island, Granite Island, and for her scholarship on one of its revolutionaries, the Corsican liberator Pasquale Paoli).
