The Memoirs of François René Vicomte de Chateaubriand sometime Ambassador to England, Volume 1 (of 6)
Mémoires d'outre-tombe, volume 1
Chateaubriand worked on his Mémoires d'outre-tombe, memoirs "from beyond the grave," for more than thirty years and arranged for them to appear only after his death in 1848. This first volume of Alexander Teixeira de Mattos's six-volume English translation covers his early life: a childhood at Saint-Malo by the sea, the gloomy castle of Combourg with his remote father and his beloved sister Lucile, his schooling, his first commission in the army, his presentation at Versailles, Paris in the first days of the Revolution, and the departure for America. Chateaubriand writes as a stylist and as a witness, mixing confession, history and reflection on time. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
