Lucien: The Rebel
Of all Napoleon’s brothers, Lucien Bonaparte is his closest match: ambitious, fiery, and relentless. Yet the two clash incessantly. Lucien, a shrewd politician supported by a devoted wife, contrasts with Napoleon, a rigid military icon betrayed by Josephine. As Napoleon’s ambition to seize power alarms Barras’ Directory, he is sent to Egypt to thwart British colonial ambitions-a move that reignites Europe’s coalition against France. Meanwhile, Lucien and Talleyrand plot a coup to overthrow the regime, with Lucien eyeing a top role. But Napoleon’s return from Egypt sparks a stunning betrayal of his own brother.
