FROM THE PUBLISHER - NAPOLEON SYMPHONY: A NOVEL IN FOUR MOVEMENTS is Anthony Burgess's fictional recreation of the life and world of Napoleon Bonaparte, which he said he found ‘elephantine fun' to write. Its four movements follow the structure of Beethoven's Eroica symphony. Burgess's Bonaparte is a cuckold suffering from heartburn and halitosis who is shown as a wily seducer of Alexander. His conquest of Egypt is a central theme of the novel, which gives a comic but detailed and revealing portrait of an Arab and Muslim society under occupation by a Christian western power. ‘Eroica' was originally dedicated to Bonaparte; then, when Napoleon crowned himself Emperor, Beethoven re-dedicated Sinfonia eroica, composta per festeggiare il sovvenire d'un grand'uomo (Heroic symphony, composed to celebrate the memory of a great man) and called it Eroica. inventory #1865 ISBN: 039447614x.
