About This Item
London: William Collins, 2018. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Signed by Adam Zamoyski on the title page, with the publisher's "signed by the author" label on the front panel of the dust jacket. "Based on primary sources in many European languages, and beautifully illustrated with portraits done only from life, this magnificent book examines how Napoleone Buonaparte, the boy from Corsica, became 'Napoloen'; how he achieved what he did, and how it came about that he undid it." Octavo: xxiii, 727 p. Original black cloth binding, with gilt titles. Just a hint of edgewear; else fine in a fine dust jacket.
From the library of revered English actor, comedian, musician, and writer Eric Idle, accompanied by a letter of provenance. Idle (b.1943) is a founding member of the British comedy troupe Monty Python, as well as the parody rock group The Rutles, and is the writer of the music and lyrics for the hit Broadway musical Spamalot.
