A look at three Fouché biographies

Over the past few months I've read three English-language biographies on Fouché: Joseph Fouché: Portrait of a Politician, by Stefan Zweig; Fouché: Unprincipled Patriot, by Hubert Cole; and Medusa's Head: The Rise and Survival of Joseph Fouché, Inventor of the Modern Police State, by Rand Mirante. These are a great example of how dramatically interpretations of a historical figure can vary from one historian to another (see also the difference between Alan Schom's interpretation of Napoleon vs. that of Andrew Roberts). And also a great example of why it’s a good idea to read multiple biographies on the same figure, to gain a more well-rounded perspective, instead of simply accepting/adopting that of the first biographer you read.

Zweig is a colorful writer and his biography is highly entertaining—he actually had me laughing out loud a few times—but his depictions of Fouché are so hilariously sinister and malignant throughout that at times it almost feels like a caricature. Zweig also utilizes the least amount of primary source material out of the three biographers--hardly any, actually--and so much of what he writes in regard to Fouché's motivations and thoughts come across as pure speculation or projection, but are always stated very matter-of-factly. Zweig presents a Fouché who chafes at the smallness of the roles he is given, driven by "unflinching selfishness." "When in power," Zweig writes, "he does not work for the State, does not work for the Directory or for Napoleon, but for himself." Aside from raw ambition, Zweig attributes most of Fouché’s actions to his sheer delight in engaging in intrigue for the sake of intrigue, an interpretation that seems to come straight out of Napoleon’s venting on St. Helena: “Intrigue was to Fouché a necessary of life. He intrigued at all times, in all places, in all ways, and with all persons. Nothing ever came to light, but he was found to have had a hand in it. He made it his sole business to look out for something that he might be meddling with. His mania was to wish to be concerned with everything.” Overall, Zweig’s book is worth reading, but out of the three English-language Fouché biographies, it’d be ranked third on my list.

Hubert Cole’s interpretation of Fouché is as different from Zweig’s as night is from day. The key word in Cole’s title is “Patriot,” and Cole’s central point is that Fouché, at each point in his career, was doing what he believed was in the best interests of France, even if that meant negotiating for peace with Britain behind Napoleon’s back, or pushing Napoleon towards a divorce and remarriage for the sake of shoring up the Bonaparte dynasty, or even (repeatedly) abandoning one master to serve another. This is the second one of Cole’s biographies I’ve read, and as most of you following me already know, I loved his dual biography on Joachim and Caroline Murat, the deceptively named The Betrayers, which is actually a very sympathetic look at the Murat couple. Cole is no fan of Napoleon and doesn’t really attempt to hide it, and maybe it’s because of this that he feels inclined to look deeper at the motivations and actions of those who ended up in opposition to Napoleon at various points (and who have therefore been demonized in history books accordingly). Cole draws heavily on primary sources, from letters and memoirs of Fouché’s contemporaries, to Fouché’s police bulletins (quoted at length throughout) to argue that “It is possible… that he was a sincere and moderately successful patriot. It is not uncommon in France for egoists to be hailed as patriots, and patriots condemned as traitors.” Far from the sinister, cold-blooded figure that haunts Zweig’s biography, or the “universally distrusted, feared, and hated” social pariah of Mirante’s, Cole's Fouché is charming, a welcome figure in the drawing rooms of Paris society, with a preference for making friends rather than enemies; nevertheless Cole does not deny that Fouché could also be ruthless, ambitious, and cunning. Cole also uses numerous accounts regarding Fouché by British, German, and Russian contemporaries, “in the belief that their prejudices, if national, are less personal.” Out of these three biographies, this one was my personal favorite, as I think it provides a more well-rounded picture of Fouché as a human being.

The primary focus of Mirante’s book is Fouché’s administration of the Ministry of Police, and the biography goes into great detail about the operations of the police in Napoleonic France, its vast network of informants, subversion of the press, surveillance of emigrés, and steady stream of information flowing in from all quarters. Fouché emphasized to his subordinates how one small detail or event could be “of great interest in the general order of things by its connections with related matters of which you are scarcely aware.” Like Cole, Mirante quotes frequently from Fouché’s police bulletins, as well as from memoirs of the era (though most of the excerpts are those hostile to Fouché). Unlike Cole, Mirante’s Fouché is driven not by any higher patriotism, but—especially after his humiliating flight from France in 1810—by a deep and abiding hatred of Napoleon, towards whose final destruction Fouché is willing to go to any length. Mirante provides more detail on Fouché’s exile and final years than either Zweig or Cole, one interesting aspect of which is the warm welcome Fouché received in Trieste from Elisa Bonaparte, who had been driven from power in Tuscany largely through Fouché’s machinations with Murat in 1814. Mirante ends the book with a critical look at Fouché’s dubious, ghostwritten “memoirs,” the credibility of which he is far more suspicious than Cole, who accepts the argument of French historian Louis Madelin that they are “largely authentic and accurate.” Mirante, on the other hand, is not convinced, and concludes that the memoirs are “highly assailable, at least quasi-spurious, and shrouded in controversy and deceit.” Mirante ends by drawing parallels between Fouché’s policing methods and those of the Gestapo and NKVD in the 20th century.

Overall I enjoyed all three of these for different reasons, and taken together they offer a more complete picture of Fouché. I haven’t gotten around to reading any French-language biographies on Fouché yet, but I do have a couple works on him by Emmanuel de Waresquiel that are definitely on my to-read list.

Herbie Hancock – The Prisoner

The Prisoner is the seventh Herbie Hancock album, recorded in 1969 and released in January 1970 for the Blue Note label, his final project for the label before moving to Warner Bros. Records. It is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who had been assassinated the previous year. Hancock suggested at the time that he had been able to get closer to his real self with this music than on any other previous album. Participating musicians include tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, trumpeter Johnny Coles (on flugelhorn), trombonist Garnett Brown, flautist Hubert Laws, bassist Buster Williams and drummer Albert “Tootie” Heath (Wikipedia).

Ha! Honestly, that's what I was wanting, random facts that lead into other facts and stories (eyeing that last one with Hubert and shrooms-).

But, second youngest? If it isn't too much, who were the older two? ~Cole

Can't remember em too well, they took off as soon as they could and so did I. Pretty sure it was two sisters, though.

Story time, I guess;

We lived off in the middle of nowhere and would spend a whole lot of time roaming the woods. We both got pretty good at safe foraging, but Hubert wasn't quite as good at telling the difference between things yet. Well, we ran across these mushrooms that would pretty much make you trip balls if you ate too much- can't remember what they were but I do know they looked similar to safe ones- and Hubert kept insisting that they were safe. I kept telling him otherwise, but his stubborn ass snuck off and ate one anyways. That was a very interesting visit to the ER.

Book Review: My Brother Napoleon

(Dedicated to @usergreenpixel for all the great reviews she's written for us. :)

I only recently found out this book existed, thanks to someone randomly posting a picture of the cover on Facebook. I couldn't find much info about it other than that it was a historical fiction novel. The one garbled review about it I came across described it as being about "Josephine's brother Napoleon."

Overall I came away with pretty mixed feelings; didn't hate it, didn't love it.

The book was published in 1971 (this seems to have been a little golden period for Caroline-related books; both Joan Bear's biography of her, and Hubert Cole's dual biography of her and Murat, came out the following year).

It is written in the first person (which, as I mentioned in an earlier post about it, I'm not a huge fan of), from the perspective of Caroline. It starts off with Caroline describing how she fell in love (or rather, lust) with Murat the first time she saw him, at Mombello when she was only fifteen years old. This also happens to be her first time seeing Napoleon's new wife, Josephine, for whom she develops a seething hatred that day because... well, the rest of the family hates Josephine, and she also makes Caroline conscious of her own shortcomings.

Her gracefulness irritated me and made me feel uncouth. I resolved there and then to do all I could, along with the rest of my family, to bring about her disgrace and downfall.

Luckily Murat swaggers in shortly thereafter and Caroline's bloodlust recedes back into regular lust. Of course Napoleon won't hear of her marrying Murat, who has a sordid reputation (which includes rumors of him having slept with Josephine). Caroline is promptly sent off to Madame Campan's school, where she meets her future arch-rival, the cloyingly sweet and naive Hortense, whom she is determined to loathe from day one.

Eventually Caroline has her way and Napoleon caves and lets her marry Murat. Murat is sent to Italy while Caroline is pregnant. When she gives birth to her first son, all she can think of is maneuvering to have him made the heir of Napoleon, who is still childless. Napoleon eventually sends her to join Murat in Italy, where she finds her husband has been sleeping with a different woman every night. They have their first major quarrel followed by some nice make-up sex and Caroline is soon pregnant again. She ends up back in Paris for a time, until Napoleon finds out Murat is accepting bribes in Italy, ratted out to an agent of Fouché by one of his captains. Caroline returns to Italy and helps Murat set the captain up to take the fall instead; the captain ends up hanging himself after his arrest. Napoleon finds all this very much amusing and rewards Caroline for it by making her husband the Governor of Paris, and jokingly says he should make Caroline Minister of Police.

Caroline and Napoleon have an interesting dynamic. Napoleon routinely invites her into his confidence to a greater extent than any of his other siblings, whose ineptitude he is constantly lamenting, and even lets her speak her mind on politics and the course he should take--but his mood is unpredictable, and when Caroline crosses the wrong line (which she does, frequently), he can lose his temper quickly. There are also some scenes where he assigns her to undertake certain little covert missions for him in a manner reminiscent of M and James Bond.

Your task, Caroline, is to gain Moreau's confidence and discover whether or not he is interested in removing me by an act of violence.

Napoleon also delights in seeing her fume over her siblings acquired titles while she remains without one. She gets the upper hand here, at last; after working herself into a full-on fainting spell over Napoleon's refusal to name her a Princess, Napoleon drafts an announcement for the Moniteur on the spot announcing all his siblings have been raised to the rank of Princes and Princesses.

Of course this isn't enough to satisfy Caroline, especially once the crowns start being doled out and arch-rival Hortense ends up becoming the Queen of Holland. But for the time being there are more important things to worry about: like pimping out her ladies-in-waiting to Napoleon so he can prove he's capable of making babies, since this is the best way to guarantee Josephine's downfall. Eventually it works, and the Bonaparte family have their Pyrrhic victory: Josephine is divorced, but announces on her way out that she's taking Napoleon's star with her. By this point, Caroline has achieved her goal of becoming a Queen; Napoleon has entrusted her with keeping her volatile husband under control in Naples.

Caroline is chosen by Napoleon to escort Marie-Louise, his new wife, back to France. Caroline wants to befriend Marie-Louise for mostly selfish political purposes, but despite the new Empress' bovine-like demeanor and naiveté, she proves immune to Caroline's wiles. Caroline eventually returns to Naples, and the brief interlude during which her relationship with Murat had reached the height of affection is soon at an end. Caroline is pregnant again, but ends up having a miscarriage. Murat blames her for the miscarriage, and their relationship marks a permanent turn for the worse.

Thereafter his moods became unpredictable. He was friendly one moment, antagonistic the next. I had once feared for his reason, and now that old fear was revived. It seemed to me that Murat had become two separate personalities.

It isn't just the miscarriage, but also Murat's growing belief that Caroline wants to oust and/or control him, combined with his growing disillusion about Napoleon's treatment of him.

This is the first point in the book where Murat is actually given any real substance or personality other than being a sex-crazed buffoon who makes an occasional snide quip here and there. King Joachim wants to do what is best for his subjects; he chafes under Napoleon's rules, wanting to be able to trade with countries other than France. He is already starting to envision himself as an independent King of a united Italy; this happens at the same time Caroline is growing increasingly fearful of Napoleon's own megalomania.

Napoleon, as I realize now, was completely crazy at this moment; crazier than Murat and far more dangerously so. But I was carried away by the hypnotic influence of his words, or more correctly by the hypnotic influence of his voice alone. I believe in him as one, with a bent for religion, believes in God. He had cast me into a sort of religious trance.

But after the debacle of the Russian invasion, Murat is convinced Napoleon's downfall is on the horizon, and Caroline is reluctantly forced to reach the same conclusion. When Austria sends Count Adam von Neipperg to Naples to speed along treaty negotiations with Murat, Caroline promptly takes him to bed to help things along (the latest in her line of lovers, which also includes, but is not limited to, Moreau, Junot, Daure, Lavauguyon, an unnamed Austrian ambassador, General Mcdonald, and a Monsieur Clavel).

But Murat balks at signing the treaty when the time comes; Caroline tricks him into doing it. His mind completely unhinged by the strain of the situation, he mistakes Caroline for the visiting Madame Récamier, and signs what Caroline tells him is a "confession of ingratitude and treachery to the Emperor Napoleon." In the morning, Murat has no memory of the scene, and declares that he must have been drunk, but decides to let the treaty stand since Napoleon is doomed anyway.

Anyone who knows the real story can guess the rest: Napoleon falls (twice); Murat goes to war with Austria, loses, flees to France, and ultimately ends up facing a firing squad in Calabria; Caroline ends up in exile in Trieste. Kenyon's Caroline is utterly emotionless in describing any of this, or anything else in the book, really. She is very much a carbon copy of Turquan's Caroline: a Machiavellian succubus, capable of lust, malice, intrigue, and little else. If that was what Kenyon was going for, he nailed it. If he wanted to make her relatable or empathetic, not so much. Stylistically speaking, Kenyon isn't a bad writer, but the only character that really had any significant depth in this story was Napoleon. He could've done so much more to flesh out the complexity of her relationship with/feelings for Murat, and I couldn't help but be disappointed by just how shallow this aspect of the book is. The part describing Murat's death and Napoleon's exile to Caroline is short and very matter-of-fact, and I genuinely can't tell if Kenyon was simply incapable of empathizing with Caroline or if he truly just didn't think she possessed actual normal human emotions like love or grief, or introspection, and just wrote her accordingly. But she just comes across, from start to finish, as very wooden and almost non-human. Having not read any of Kenyon's other books, I can't say whether this is par for the course with his characterization or not.

What I did like about the book were the depictions of the Bonaparte family squabbles, which were entertaining and well-written, and Napoleon in general (Kenyon seemed to have a good read on him, at least). And Caroline's back-and-forth with the unexpectedly combative Marie-Louise during their carriage ride back to France together was also a fun scene.

If I had to give it a rating, I'd go with a 6/10. It had its moments, and the writing isn't bad, but I just couldn't help but be disappointed by the characterizations of both Caroline and Murat.

❝𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐢𝐫...❞

This is Mun Zephyrs Muse list! Ocs are first and are linked with their docs.

This is always changing! More ocs and canons can be added at any time, check back if something doesn’t interest you!

(BIG note, the only ocs I have fully developed as of now are all under the name Ambriel with assorted surnames.) 𝓕𝓲𝓻𝓮 𝓔𝓶𝓫𝓵𝓮𝓶...

(FE3H)

- Ambriel Wildcleaver  ( Ambriel is generally good spirited and fun to be around. Bubbly but a little dense on some topics, they’re a must if you need a good tank and an even better friend. They’re stubborn to a fault and jumpy at most things. They will not ask for help by any circumstances, they’d rather fail a class than ask for someone to help them. They’re notoriously clumsy and a surprisingly picky eater. They thoroughly enjoy soft fabrics and colourful flowers. If there’s something they’re interested in, Ambriel will sink all their time into it if they can. They have this vague aura of anxiousness but never realise it, they end up thoroughly confused if someone mentions it.)

- Sylvain Jose Gautier

- Hubert Von Vestra

- Dedue Molinaro

- (I am always willing to try characters for this! These are just the ones I know i can do.) 𝓞𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔀𝓪𝓽𝓬𝓱... - Ambriel Pearson ( Ambriel grew up with their mother in a low income neighborhood in London. The two were very poor, but they were happy. They were a smart kid, always interested in taking things apart and putting them back together. Ever since they were young, the idea of robots intrigued them. They loved the idea that something that was originally just scrap metal could be given life in such a spectacular way. ) - Cole Cassidy - Genji Shimada - Lucio Correia dos Santos 𝓜𝓪𝓻𝓿𝓮𝓵... - Psyche (Ambriel is a bubbly mum-friend. You want someone to talk to? Sure come in! Don’t mind the mess. You need Hair Ties? What colour? They will do their best to help if they can. They are very aware that they aren’t the strongest and their powers aren’t the best or even helpful if the situation doesn't call for exactly THEIR type of distraction but they’re good at other things!) - Thor - Spider-man 𝓞𝓫𝓮𝔂 𝓶𝓮... - Ambriel Allibaster (Ambriel, considering their continuously growing pile of physical and mental issues is actually quite bubbly. A pleasant person and often described as the mum friend. They look chronically tired but will deny it if you ask.)

- Mammon

- Lucifer

- Barbatos  𝓖𝓮𝓷𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓷 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓪𝓬𝓽...

- Ambriel Allibaster (Considering everything, Ambriel is quite the bubbly character. They have no issues with helping out if you need it and they know how to keep spirits high on long journeys and hard treks through the colder mountains of Dragonspine. Any fits of extreme emotion cause their elemental powers to go absolutely haywire so  they try to be as neutrally happy as possible at all times (don’t sneak up on them, it doesn’t end well for either party).Ambriel has a few issues with communicating with people, along with the constant isolation from others they have a great many mental issues. The circumstances around gaining their vision granted them PTSD like fits and depressive episodes. They also have many sensory issues, especially with food and textures.)

- Tartaglia

- Arataki Itto - Kaeya

- (Willing to try other characters for this as well!)

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓦𝓲𝓽𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓻...

- Ambriel Allibaster ( Ambriel is a delight to be around if you catch them on a good day. They’re bubbly and chatty, sometimes overwhelmingly. They enjoy being around people, whether it’s because they genuinely enjoy other peoples company or because it drowns out the constant otherworldly voices screaming at them about someones unfortunate demise is anyones guess.)

- Jaskier
