Synopsis
Benjamin Constant participated in the tumultous political life of France during the French Revolution and its aftermath. As an intimate of Germaine de Stael, he encountered international writers and thinkers influential in the early intellectual development of European Romanticism. Adolphe is a seminal Romantic novel, probably autobiographical, published in 1816. It analyses the interior states of the young protagonist who has fallen in love with an older woman. The Red Notebook is a posthumously published first-person autobiographical narrative of Constant's youth.

About the Author
Benjamin Constant (1767-1830) was a French-Swiss political writer and novelist. He combined a lively political career with a fertile literary output, while entertaining a series of liaisons with some of Frances most prominent women. Constant was an able parliamentarian, a champion of liberalism and the author of The History of Religion. Posterity, however, remembers him as the man who bared the anatomy of a destructive passion in the story of Adolphe (1816).

CD1. keywords: Signet Classic Europe France Literature Translated 18th Century World Literature. DESCRIPTION - In these two remarkable works, a brilliant, vain, long-suffering Frenchman describes the first twenty years of his life and their culmination in a tortured love affair with an older, possessive woman of the world. Benjamin Constant attempted to conceal the fact that these two books were autobiographical. But to his familiars, it was clear that he himself was Adolphe. And in the intimate account of his strange liaison with EllEnore, he may well have been protesting against his inexorable bondage to his fiery, demanding mistress, Madame de Staël. Constant was an able parliamentarian, a champion of liberalism and the author of the History of Religion. But posterity remembers him as the man who bared the anatomy of a destructive passion in the story of Adolphe. inventory #28975. Seller Inventory # z28975
