      About This Book

      Anthony Burgess draws on his love of music and history in this novel he called "elephantine fun" to write.

      A grand and affectionate tragicomic symphony to Napoleon Bonaparte that teases and reweaves Napoleon's life into a pattern borrowed—in liberty, equality, and fraternity—from Beethoven's Third "Eroica" Symphony, in this rich, exciting, bawdy, and funny novel Anthony Burgess has pulled out all the stops for a virtuoso performance that is literary, historical, and musical.
