Mémoires d'Outre-Tombe

Originally published in 1920, this book contains the French text of the eighth and ninth books of Chateaubriand's Mémoires d-Outre-Tombe. These two books cover Chateubriand's time in England between 1792 and 1800, when he was living in exile after fighting on the Royalist side at the siege of Thionville, during which time he became acquainted with English literature and wrote his influential essay on the causes of the French Revolution. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Chateaubriand's life and work.
