History
Ero convinto di aver trovato la donna della mia vita, una puttana che sapeva dare il meglio di sé con la sua bocca sul mio uccello, e alla fine l’ho ammazzata. Avevo creduto che, una volta scomparso l’essere umano dalla Terra, tutto sarebbe stato meglio, ma ora mi mancano, e mi mancherà questo italiano colto e triste. Ero convinto di essere tra i morti, e mi ritrovo tra i vivi. Napoleone a Sant’Elena, in auto esilio.

That was not your question, but yes, it's an indirect allusion to Napoleon's exile to the island of St. Helena which was not, however, self-imposed.
