Memoirs from Beyond the Grave

François-René de Chateaubriand

François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand, was a writer, adventurer, and statesman during the period of the French Revolution. His literary work represents the last intellectual flourishing of a decadent nobility, and justifies his place as a founder of the Romantic school of literature. Chateaubriand’s posthumous Memoirs are a poignant and reflective depiction of his tumultuous life amidst the chaos of the Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, to the eve of the Second Republic and the decline of the French monarchy.
