Winner of Italy's prestigious Strega literary prize, N. recounts Napoleon's three hundred days spent on Elba before his escape and return to power during the 'Hundred Days'. The novel turns around Napoleon's relations with a local intellectual, Martino Acquabona, whom the emperor appoints as his librarian. As a result, Martino gets to know Napoleon and starts making plans for himself, perhaps even to kill Napoleon.
