Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique glimpse into the life of a woman whose lineage linked her directly to one of history's most influential figures. The author, writing in 1849, recounts her childhood and youth, detailing her tumultuous relationship with her father and her deep affection for her mother. The book provides a fascinating window into the complexities of family life in post-Napoleonic France, a time marked by both societal upheaval and lingering reverence for the Emperor. As the author reflects on her own childhood, she reveals the emotional impact of her unconventional parentage. The book delves into themes of secrecy, societal stigma, and the longing for acceptance in the shadow of a father whose notoriety overshadowed all else. The author's own moral compass, forged in a world of conflicting social expectations, provides a poignant backdrop to the complex social dynamics of the time. The book's intimate account of the author's life offers a compelling perspective on the enduring legacy of Napoleon and the intricate ways in which his influence shaped the lives of even those who never knew him directly.

UNE FILLE DE NAPOLEON - MEMOIRES D'EMILIE DE PELLAPRA COMTESSE DE BRIGODE- PRINCESSE DE CHIMAY PUBLIES AVECUNE INTRODUCTION PAR LA PRINCESSE BIBESCO EDITIONS DE LA SIRENE, 1921 EPUISE EN LIBRAIRIE BROCHE, 186 PAGES PREFACE DE FREDERIC MASSON ILLUSTRE DE 8 GRAVURES Emilie-Louise-Marie-Françoise-Joséphine de PELLAPRA, qui fut d'abord comtesse de BRIGODE, puis Princesse de CHIMAY, serait née d'une liaison qu'eut sa mère Madame Françoise-Marie-Emilie de PELLAPRA avec NAPOLEON qu'elle aurait rencontrée lors du passage de l'Empereur à Lyon en avril 1804 en compagnie de JOSEPHINE. Cette belle lyonnaise, née Émilie LEROY, épouse d'un banquier, aurait été la maîtresse de NAPOLEON et une fille serait née de cette liaison en novembre 1806 (État civil de Lyon). NAPOLEON revit Madame de PELLAPRA trois ou quatre fois à Saint-Cloud puis quelquefois aux Tuileries. On peut bien croire que la fortune dont elle avait été la cause pour son mari, qui fut nommé à la Recette Générale de Caen, la ramena, en 1811, sous les regards de l'Empereur qui, au voyage de Caen, renouvela connaissance avec elle. Tout cela fut si bref et si discret que l'on a pu croire, même dans la Maison de l'Empereur, qu'il ne l'avait connut qu'après le second mariage avec Marie Louise. Au retour de l'Île d'Elbe lors du passage à Lyon de l'Empereur le 10 mars 1815, le Valet de Chambre de NAPOLEON, MARCHAND, fut envoyé chez Madame de PELLAPRA, revenue dans cette ville, pour avoir un entretien avec l'Empereur qu'elle vit au milieu de la nuit. Ensuite le 11 juin 1815, MARCHAND fut à nouveau chargé d'une commission puisque NAPOLEON lui remit deux paquets volumineux cachetés à ses armes qu'il lui dit de faire porter, l'un chez Madame WALESKA, l'autre chez Madame de PELLAPRA. Après WATERLOO « Madame de PELLAPRA vint aussi à MALMAISON, apporter des consolations de cur qui furent appréciées de l'Empereur. Son souvenir à Sainte-Hélène est venu quelquefois chasser les ennuis de la captivité en se rappelant son âme et sa beauté » (Mémoires de MARCHAND) .
