Mémoires d'outre-tombe volume 3

by François-René Chateaubriand, vicomte de

Translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos

"The Memoirs of François René Vicomte de Chateaubriand sometime Ambassador to…" is a memoir published posthumously in 1849 and 1850. Written by the founder of French Romanticism, this work blends political history with intimate personal confession. Chateaubriand chronicles his life as soldier, traveler, novelist, and statesman while capturing the epic events of his era. Originally intended for publication fifty years after his death, financial troubles forced him to release it earlier. The memoir's poetic prose and melancholy tone made Chateaubriand the idol of young French Romantics.
