The Hundres Days
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I first learned of this book in a review of Emmanualde Waresquiel's Cent Jours in the TLS. The reviewer, rightly, characterized this novel as a remarkable recreation of the chaos and confusion that existed among the Bourbons and their followers during Holy Week, 1815, as Napoleon moved towards Paris to reclaim his throne. Aragon describes this week through the eyes and thoughts of an extensive cast of characters - turn coat Marshals of France, soldiers and officers of the Bourbons, and, particularly, Theodore Gericault. The descriptions of thoughts, events and locales are beautifully rendered. I really felt swept up in these events. I have read extensively on the Napoleonic period and the Hundred Days, but had never really fully empathized with the feelings of those going through this stunning reversal of fortune (to be suddenly repeated in June after Waterloo). I heartly recommend this novel to anyone with a good grasp of French who has an interest in this period of French History.
