Leys writes an elegant, precise prose that ironically evokes the Napoleonic age. His exquisite tale, a gem of a book, can be read as a parable on the folly of hero-worship, the perils of self- justifying notions of destiny and the vanity of all human striving.\" - Publisher's Weekly This is a new edition of the award-winning novel, out of print now for several years.
