The Napoleon of Notting Hill

The Napoleon of Notting Hill

Gilbert K Chesterton

Devoted Publishing

pokkari
When a new king is selected and Auberon Quin is randomly chosen, he institutes a series of reforms that many of his new leaders find boring and childish. While Quin enjoys a good joke, a young leader named Adam Wayne takes things very seriously even going to war with neighbouring boroughs. Although written mainly as a comedic work, Chesterton philosophically explores the actions of man and respect for each other.

Nu kommer äntligen en tidigare aldrig översatt roman av Chesterton: Notting Hills Napoleon. År 1899 förklarar den brittiska regeringen kolonialt krig mot de två små Boerrepublikerna Transvaal och Oranjefristaten i Sydafrika. Storbritannien står splittrat. Är kriget rättfärdigt eller en vämjelse? Några år senare debuterar Chesterton som romanförfattare med denna politiska allegori. Chesterton tog ställning - han nöjde sig inte med att påstå att det brittiska imperiet inte hade någon rätt att förklara krig mot de sydafrikanska republikerna, utan hävdade dessutom att både Transvaal och Oranjefristaten hade full rätt att kämpa mot inkräktaren. Samtidigt som han försvarade engelsmannens rätt att älska sitt England, erkände han sydafrikanens rätt att älska sitt Sydafrika. Vad han egentligen förfäktade var varje människas rätt att leva sitt eget liv i enlighet med sitt kulturella, politiska och sociala arv.

Shortly before the United States declared war on Great Britain in June 1812, Congress came within two votes of declaring war on Napoleon Bonaparte’s French empire. For six years, France and Britain had both seized American shipping. While common wisdom says that America was virtually an innocent in this matter, caught in the middle of the epic wars between France and Britain, Peter Hill has uncovered a far more complex and interesting history. French privateers and Napoleon’s navy were seizing American merchant ships in a concerted attempt to disrupt Britain’s commerce. American ships were the principal carriers of British goods to the continent, and Napoleon believed his best, and perhaps only, hope to defeat Britain was to cut off that market. While the French emperor sought an accommodation with America, the administrations of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison continually frustrated him. American diplomatic fumbling sent mixed messages, and American neutrality policies, Hill finds, were more punishing to France than to Britain. Always interested in lucrative ventures, American merchant ships also became the main suppliers of food to British forces fighting Napoleon in Spain and Portugal. By 1812, the United States was on a collision course with both Britain and France over clashes on the high seas, and war with two major powers at once might have proven disastrous for the young United States. Hill’s engaging narrative details the fascinating history of America’s troubled relationship with Napoleon and how this crisis with France was finally averted.
