Title: La conquête de Marianne
Description: This work, the result of a university research project in the Sorbonne, does not constitute a new biography of Napoleon, nor even a new panorama of Bonapartism; It is no longer a question of recounting a new history of the "republican idea" or the "model" that results. The present book aims at filling a vacuum on the complex and ambiguous relations of Bonaparte and the Republic as a philosophical ideal and as a political system; It is also intended to highlight what this incestuous relationship reveals of the collective hexagonal unconscious--Translation of back cover by decitre.fr
