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).
