The romantic relations between Madame Walewska and Napoleon furnish the subject for this novel, written by a follower, of the school of Sienkiewicz. “The scenes are in Warsaw, Vienna, Paris. The plot shows how the Polish patriots sought to use the emperor’s interest in Mary for their own ends, and for those ends inspired in a noble and tender girl a sort of sacrificial fire—a sacrificial fire which was transfigured in due time to something quite different.” (N. Y. Times.) “The central, all-compelling figure of the book is Napoleon; whether present or absent he is the determining force, the master-spirit in whom everyone is merged.” (Acad.)
