ISBN10: 1844152502, ISBN13: 9781844152506, [publisher: Pen & Sword Books Ltd, United Kingdom, Barnsley] Softcover Many books have been written about St Helena and its most famous resident, the exiled Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The episode has been so intensively researched that it is rare for a fresh, unpublished account to come to light. Yet Dr James Verling's St Helena journal is just such a source. Verling was based on St Helena during Napoleon's imprisonment and he was even appointed as Napoleon's official physician. Throughout his stay, this young doctor kept a vivid diary of his experiences. Through Verling's eyes we get a fresh view of daily life on the island and of the suspicion-filled society that grew up around Napoleon during his last years.Received the PRESIDENT'S CHOICE AWARD from the INTERNATIONAL NAPOLEONIC SOCIETY as a 'significant contribution to Napoleonic studies'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

ISBN10: 1844152502, ISBN13: 9781844152506, [publisher: Pen and Sword Books Limited, Great Britain] Hardcover First Edition Hardback. Verling was based on St. Helena during Napoleon's imprisonment and at one point he was even appointed as Napoleon's official physician. It was not to be, however, as Napoleon refused to accept a doctor appointed by his hated jailor, Sir Hudson Lowe, without putting restrictions on the relationship that were unacceptable to both Verling and Lowe. The politics, often petty, of this situation are fascinating and offer an amazing look at life on this remote island. Throughout his stay, this young Irish doctor kept a vivid and detailed diary of his experiences, which is published here for the first time, augmented with important letters between the principal plays and with an introduction and analysis by Napoleonic scholar J. David Markham. Through Verling's eyes we get a fresh view of daily life on the island and of the suspicion-filled artificial society that grew up around Napoleon during his last years. Issues of high European politics foprm the background to Verling's story. But in the foreground and of daily concern are the gossip and petty intrigue that consumed the attention of the principal characters who found themselves caught up in the strange drama of St. Helena .
