Napoleon Symphony Summary

Napoleon Symphony: A Novel in Four Movements by Anthony Burgess

A grand and affectionate tragicomic symphony to Napoleon Bonaparte that teases and reweaves Napoleon's life into a pattern borrowed-in liberty, equality, and fraternity-from Beethoven's Third Eroica Symphony, in this rich, exciting, bawdy, and funny novel Anthony Burgess has pulled out all the stops for a virtuoso performance that is literary, historical, and musical.

Napoleon Symphony Reviews

A reader who delights in succulent phrase, the zest of word play and a saucy paragraph must fall on each new work of Anthony Burgess with ravenous appetite....Burgess at his most characteristic, craziest. -- Washington Post
All of the Burgess embellishments are here, and they sing alluringly each to each. -- Sara Sanborn - New York Times
One of Burgess's most important and experimental works. -- Andrew Biswell - Daily Telegraph
Alive, lush, lyric, human, witty and wildly comic. -- The Nation
Burgess sees Napoleon with a contemporary eye and all the hang-ups-hypochondria, image-massaging and, of course, Josephine. It's a novel I'm sure I will return to again and again, finding new pleasures at each reading. -- Ion Trewin - Times (London)
