Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. On a remote island in the South Atlantic, a disgraced surgeon is given a macabre task: preserve the body of the dead emperor-before the truth rots away. 1821. Napoleon Bonaparte is dead. But on the British prison island of St. Helena, his body has not been buried. Fearing his grave will become a shrine, the governor orders Dr. Alistair Finch-a surgeon stripped of rank for refusing to amputate a boy's leg without consent-to secretly embalm the corpse and hide it in a lead-lined vault beneath Longwood House.As Finch works in the damp cellar with rum, arsenic, and beeswax, he discovers Napoleon's hidden journals-pages filled not with conquests, but with grief for a son he'll never see, and regret for the man war made him. When French loyalists, British profiteers, and a mysterious laundress all seek relics of the fallen emperor, Finch is drawn into a dangerous underground network smuggling truth out of exile.But the island is watching. And when the governor orders the body burned to ash, Finch must choose: obey and let history forget the man behind the myth. or risk everything to ensure the world remembers Napoleon not as a monster-but as human.From the author of The Surgeon of Virendra comes a haunting, gorgeously written novel of loyalty, legacy, and the quiet rebellion of compassion in the shadow of empire."A masterclass in historical fiction-gritty, psychologically rich, and deeply humane. Finch isn't just preserving a body; he's fighting for the soul of memory itself."- Historical Novels Review"War ends. But who gets to decide what the dead owe the living?"Readers of literary historical fiction who seek morally complex narratives, psychological depth, and anti-heroic perspectives on empire. Fans of Lincoln in the Bardo, The English Patient, Sebastian Barry, and The Signature of All Things. This item is printed on demand.
