Romaner
At the heart of this narrative biography lies one of the most impressive and yet almost forgotten episodes in European history: the abduction of Pope Pius VII by Napoleon Bonaparte. Between 1809 and 1814, the power struggle between spiritual authority and political absolutism escalated. Napoleon; emperor, conqueror, legislator; took the pontiff prisoner in order to subjugate him. But Pius VII, a reserved Benedictine monk, resisted; not with weapons, but with his conscience. The book recounts these historical events in literary depth, with fictional dialogues based on documented sources, original quotations in German translation, and a detailed look at locations, personalities, and political contexts. The reader follows the Pope on his journey into exile to Savona and Fontainebleau, experiences Napoleon's inner turmoil and looks far beyond the end of their confrontation; to the Emperor's death on St Helena and the Pope's return to Rome. A work about power and powerlessness, conviction and doubt, political repression and spiritual steadfastness; and about two men who changed Europe.
