- André Castelot was born André Storms in Antwerp, Belgium, a son of poet Gabrielle Storms-Castelot and painter Maurice Chabas. He became the acclaimed author of some 65 vivid, richly-detailed biographies and studies of prominent figures in French history, particularly those of the 16th, 18th, and 19th-centuries, such as Queen Marie Antoinette and the Empress Josephine. With his longtime friend, writer Alain Decaux, he created and produced popular French radio and television programs. Castelot also wrote the historical soundtrack for "sound and light" shows at famous historical sites, including Chambord and Compiegne. He received numerous awards, including the Legion of Honor, the French National Order of Merit, and the Grand Prix of the Académie Française. The Prix André Castelot, given each year to a popular book or historical novel, was created in his honor.

When I started reading this biography of the famous French queen, I wanted to largely dismiss it in favor of some of the more recent, well-researched books on her life. Yet, as I read, I began to appreciated the author's extensive quotes and attempts to provide a sense of what it was like to live during the French Revolution. Details and narratives appear here that I hadn't encountered elsewhere and while this book may not be the best one I've read about Marie Antoinette, it certainly serves a purpose in bringing her story to life.… (altro)
Although considerably more information was available when this was written in comparison to Aubrey's biography of Napoleon II, I still prefer Aubrey's.
Castelot's does little to make Marie Louise look good (though no fault of his own--- it would be a difficult task for any writer, unless they wrote fantasy), is convinced of the prince's poor constitution starting at an early age, and does not reveal much about his short romantic life except in a few short sentences.
His death is explained in great detail, however, the author having the poor Duke of Reichstadt suffering through about a hundred pages, and enforcing what he had prophecized himself, that: "My birth and my death---that is the whole of my story"..."Between my cradle and my tomb there is a great naught".… (altro)

A good serious biography. A slow read. Very detailed.

Napoleon hlboko a vášnivo miloval iba jedinú ženu, prvú manželku Jozefínu, ktorú pre jej neplodnosť zavrhol. Spoznáme však aj jeho vzťah k "poľskej manželke" Márii i k druhej manželke Márii Lujze, ktorá mu porodila legitímneho dediča.
