The third installment of Puértolas’s work, Re Vive l’Empereur brings Napoleon back to life in contemporary France, where he journeys through a country in turmoil and, through the mirror effect of his imperial gaze, exposes the tics of the age — rolling news media, technocracies, identity politics — in a lively satire in which picaresque adventure vies with social commentary.
A rare deluxe printing, issued in a small number, from Le Dilettante’s carefully produced editions.
