The Death of Napoleon by Simon Leys family-law Iraqi aspiring pianist Nasim falls"In this deliciously sardonic fable, Napoleon Bonaparte escapes from imprisonment on the isle of St. Helena. Leys writes an elegant, precise prose that ironically evokes the Napoleonic age. His exquisite tale, a gem of a book, can be read as a parable on the folly of hero worship, the perils of self justifying notions of destiny and the vanity of all human striving."
