The French Revolution and Napoleonic Era $103.95 Admittedly intended primarily as a textbook, *The French Revolution and Napoleonic Era* is a bare-bones, no-frills ((the generic title is a case in point)) history written in a clear if workmanlike prose--it's the kind of book that's good for the facts, but short on entertainment value. Connelly throws in some tasty tidbits now and then, such as the fact that at 5'2" the famously short Napoleon was actually taller than the average French soldier of the time. And he devotes a few sentences to the spectacular ugliness of Danton. But for the most part this is a places-names-dates sort of history that'll help more than anything else to get the timeline of this period straight in your historical mind's eye. The first half of the book--dealing with the Revolution and Terror--is a little zippier than the second half that takes up Napoleon's rise and fall, brief rise and final fall, but then during the Terror the guillotine was working full steam a-head ((haha)) and even the driest account of those murderous years would be--terrifying. Connelly's goal here was to write a history for students as accurately, as clearly, and as concisely as he could, providing a one-volume overview distilled from the thousands of volumes written on this subject. In that, he succeeded. If you're looking for more dash, more flair, more of a narrative, this book probably won't satisfy you. But for acquiring a general working knowledge of the Revolution and Napoleonic Era this is a good place to start.  Music Of The Napoleonic Era $15.99 The magnitude of a single moment in history is impossible to measure, much less the entire social, political, and cultural consequences of an entire era. However, through the window of music it is possible to see beyond the history books and into the hearts of a generation. It is to the geniuses of music who captured the Wonders of those tumultuous times that we dedicate "Music Of The Napoleonic Era." |
