English This etext was produced by David Widger "Recollections of the Private Life of Napoleon — Volume 02" by Louis Constant Wairy is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed and personal insight into the life of Napoleon Bonaparte from the perspective of his valet de chambre, exploring the intricacies of his domestic life, political maneuvers, and the characters that surrounded him during his reign. The opening of the book introduces key events surrounding the arrival of Don Louis, the newly appointed King of Etruria, in Paris in May 1801. The narrative unfolds with the discussions and observations made during royal visits and lavish feasts, which reflect both the opulence of life at the Tuileries and the political dynamics at play. Wairy paints the King as somewhat ineffective and overly concerned with reputation, while also weaves in the perspective of the First Consul, Napoleon, who critiques the King’s demeanor and lifestyle. As the events progress, the allure and pressures of court life become evident, illustrating not just personal interactions but also the broader political redoubt of the French monarchy amidst republicanism.
