In writing this book, Al-Bustani relied on hundreds of French references, documents, and letters, to craft this wonderful narrative about the life of Napoleon Bonaparte, whom he bestows in this book the title "The Great Eagle." Dozens of historical references and books have documented the life of Napoleon Bonaparte and his military achievements. However, Al-Bustani's novel focuses more on the human aspects of Napoleon Bonaparte's life, starting from his childhood and continuing through his aborted or passionate love stories, and how he made his way through the complex social life of French society. This book falls between the art of historical biography and the art of the novel. It is written in an attractive, simple style. An engaging book that we recommend whether you are a fan of historical novels, biographies, or famous people.
