Summary

 Actor Rahul Bose lends his golden voice to some ethereal love letters written by some great personalities from the bygone era. Napolean Bonaparte (1763 – 1821) was not just a brilliant military mind and a feared ruler, but was also a prolific writer of letters. He reportedly wrote as many as 75,000 letters in his lifetime, many of them to his beautiful wife, Josephine, both before and during their marriage. This letter, written just prior to their 1796 wedding, shows surprising tenderness and emotion from the future emperor. Paris, December 1795 I wake filled with thoughts of you. Your portrait and the intoxicating evening which we spent yesterday have left my senses in turmoil. Sweet, incomparable Josephine, what a strange effect you have on my heart! Are you angry? Do I see you looking sad? Are you worried?… My soul aches with sorrow, and there can be no rest for you lover; but is there still more in store for me when, yielding to the profound feelings which overwhelm me, I draw from your lips, from your heart a love which consumes me with fire? Ah! it was last night that I fully realized how false an image of you your portrait gives! You are leaving at noon; I shall see you in three hours. Until then, mio dolce amor, a thousand kisses; but give me none in return, for they set my blood on fire.©2021 Storytel Original IN (P)2021 Storytel Original IN Diaries & Journals Historical Historical Fiction Memoirs, Diaries & Correspondence Heartfelt
