The Invisible Emperor

Mark Braude

Few historical figures are as well-known as Napoleon Bonaparte and yet the Emperor's ten-month exile on the small island of Elba is virtually unexplored. Now for the first time we have a window into this critical moment when the most powerful man on earth turns defeat into one final challenge.

A close character study mixed with a world-shaking drama The Invisible Emperor will show Napoleon as he's never before been seen: as heart-broken husband civil engineer interior decorator gardener and spy master. It will show a man at his nadir rise up against the global odds to build a miniature island empire turn his two greatest foes into his closest confidantes and return to France without firing a single shot.
