| Summary | "Joseph Bonaparte" by John S. C. Abbott is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book explores the life of Joseph Bonaparte, the elder brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, detailing his early years, political ambitions, and significant roles during pivotal moments in French history. It aims to provide an accessible overview of Joseph's character, his relationship with his brother, and his contributions to the revolutionary movements that shaped modern Europe. The opening of "Joseph Bonaparte" sets the stage by delving into the early life of Joseph Bonaparte, starting with his birth in Corsica in 1768 to a distinguished family. Abbott reflects on Joseph's close relationship with his brother Napoleon as they navigated their education and personal aspirations. The narrative provides insight into their childhood in Corsica and their early formative experiences that shaped their future paths, particularly focusing on Joseph’s commitment to the cause of popular rights and his eventual foray into law. As the tumultuous backdrop of the French Revolution looms, the opening also foreshadows the pivotal roles both brothers would play in the events that reshaped France and, ultimately, Europe.
