He wrote nonfiction, a number of now largely forgotten novels, one play, three collections of poetry, as well as a number of works of autobiography.
He was known for his extravagant taste and lived in a series of large country houses. He was married four times, lastly to Lady Juliet Wentworth-Fitzwilliam.

I have this book because I love Napoleonic history, not because I regard Napoleon as particularly insightful on the subject of himself. What he was good at was finding other people's military weaknesses.
