Excerpt from The Eclectic Review, for July, 1819, Vol. 12
The journal of this traverse of the Peninsula contains many lively illustrations of national character, many amusing incidents, details of military operations, which had recently taken place hit some of the spots which he passed. And descriptions of atri king Scenes, or of monuments of antiquity. Beyond every other spectacle, the stupendous excavations at Ellora overpowered and amazed his mind. It is not a little strange that these, per haps unequalled labours of superstition should, if the Author is not mistaken in his statement, fail now to excite any sentiments of reverence in the people, though they are probably the most magnificent, and among the most ancient temples of the deities they still adore. But we much doubt the accuracy of the assert tion, that no pilgrim now visits them, nor are they in any manner, or to any one, (except a cursory traveller), an object 5 of veneration Indeed, it must be simply impossible for minds filled with the mythology, to behold it without emotion embodied in the sculptures throughout the immensity and solemnity of these caverns.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book deconstructs the popular belief that the French revolutionary Napoleon Bonaparte was a real historical figure. The author proposes that the legends surrounding Napoleon are a myth, a story told to satisfy the national pride of the French and establish national unity. The author posits that 'Napoleon' may have been a composite title bestowed upon various admired French generals, and that many of the victories attributed to his singular genius were, in reality, won by other commanders. Ultimately, the book argues that the legend of Napoleon is an allegory of the French nation itself, a symbol of the nation's endurance and rise to prominence.
