DESCRIPTION:
Great to read informally I have to say I have never sat down and read this book in the normal way. Instead I tend to read it by browsing through and choosing a particular section and then just enjoying that section.

Slated for production immediately following the release of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick’s "Napoleon" was to be at once a character study and a sweeping epic, replete with grandiose battle scenes featuring thousands of extras. The culmination of years of research and preparation, this unique publication offers readers a chance to experience the creative process of one of cinema’s greatest talents as well as a fascinating exploration of the enigmatic figure that was Napoleon Bonaparte.. But alas, Kubrick’s
"You have to see it to believe it, which is appropriate when you consider Kubrick's obsession it could be that the project has found its perfect home as the most grandiose book ever made." (New York Magazine)"
