Napoleon manga
Posted on 19. Mar, 2008 by Cameron in books
My thanks to Brian who, in the comments of a recent post mentioned there was a mange comic about Napoleon by HASEGAWA TETSUYA. I did some research and found an online store selling them.
I’ve found a site that discussed the comic which I’ve translated for your reading pleasure here.
The Napoleon Bonaparte Podcast #38 – Napoleon’s Options
Posted on 13. Mar, 2008 by Cameron in Podcast
Let me start off by apologizing for my audio – it seems I had the wrong microphone on. Luckily I’m just the button pusher so the impact is small. 
In today’s episode, David explains the range of options Napoleon considered after his abdication of 22 June, 1815. Should he go to England, Russia, Austria or the United States?
Don’t forget to check out our new podcast The Biography Show on TPN where you will hear us talk about the lives of people such as Alexander The Great and King Hammurabi of Babylon.
(image is from a new comic about Napoleon inspired by this podcast and conceived by listener Per Ove Sleen from Norway!)

The theme music is La Marseillaise. Yes, we know it isn’t necessarily relevant to Napoleon but it’s hard to beat when it comes to French themes! The music at the end of today’s show is Marche de la Garde à Waterloo. You can find it, along with many other Napoleonic tunes, on this site. Thanks to Ben for the link!

My Napoleon Library on Shelfari
Posted on 02. Mar, 2008 by Cameron in books
I’m moving house at the moment and as part of the process, I’m documenting my library of books using an online tool called Shelfari.com. It also gives me an opportunity to create discussion groups around books and so I’ve created one around my Napoleonic collection (link). I think it might be an interesting tool for all of us to review Napoleonic books we’ve read. Please feel free to join and submit reviews of books you’ve enjoyed! I’ve only added one from my collection so far (David’s “Dummies” book, of course) but will be adding the rest over the next few days.
