{"product_id":"napoleon-symphony","title":"Anthony Burgess: Napoleon Symphony [2012] hardback","description":"A grand and tragi-comic symphony to Napoleon Bonaparte, this novel unteases and reweaves Napoleon's life  - from the first great days of his campaigns in 1796 to exile and death on St. Helena a quarter of a century later. Burgess' Bonaparte is a cuckold, afflicted with heartburn and halitosis while enacting a wily seduction of Tsar Alexander, conquering Egypt and crowning himself Emperor. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWitty, sardonic, intellectual, Napoleon Symphony is Burgess at his most challenging and inventive. In creating a novel based on a musical form, Burgess is playing with structure, from the grand, ambitious shape of the novel itself, through to the finer composition of each sentence.","brand":"Burgess, Anthony","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46503993147731,"sku":"9781846689161","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/burgess-anthony-napoleon-symphony-9781846689161-49020621128019.jpg?v=1681160378","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/napoleon-symphony","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
