Bit of a long shot, but does anyone have any good history book recommendations about the 1851 French coup d'état by Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte? It's a period of history I'd like to learn more about!

#cyber rambles #Every history book I find about France is either about the og Bonaparte or the French Revolution...#History #France #french history #Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte

The Prince Imperial (Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, son of Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie, known to Bonapartists as Napoleon IV) "was one of only two people Henry Ponsonby encountered who were not afraid of Queen Victoria; the other was John Brown. Later, Ponsonby might have added to his list Beatrice's husband, Henry of Battenberg, whom, save in height, the Prince strongly resembled." (Matthew Dennison, The Last Princess: The Devoted Life of Queen Victoria's Youngest Daughter)

Napoleon found that his friendships with men often began with physical attraction, and this took a curious form. ‘He told me,’ says Caulaincourt, ‘... that for him the heart was not the organ of sentiment; that he felt emotions only where most men experience feelings of a different kind: nothing in the heart, everything in the loins and in another place, which I leave nameless.’ The feeling Napoleon described as ‘a sort of painful tingling, a nervous irritability... the squeaking of a saw sometimes gives me the same sensation.’

Apparently it wasn’t just Napoleon and Alexander who got along well during their meetings but also their younger brothers, King Jerome and Grand Duke Constantine! While the two Emperors do all the ceremonial stuff and chat amiably together, their brothers go to parties with Murat, get drunk with the french actresses and pull pranks on local nobles. Amazing.

Detail from “Viewing David’s Coronation of Napoleon”

By Louis-Léopold Boilly, c. 1810

This detail shows two figures using a printed guidebook to decipher the names and faces of people in the painting of Napoleon crowning his wife as Empress Josephine as shown at the Musée du Louvre between 1808 and 1810.
