Synopsis
Writer, soldier, diplomat, traveller, lover, philosopher—Chateaubriand truly was a man of the 19th century. His astonishing literary prowess, along with his commitment to counter-revolution, aristocratism, traditional religion, paternalism, and the primacy of the family, made him one of the strongest voices of the French Counter-Enlightenment.
Considered by many the father of French romanticism, he cast a long shadow over European literature, and produced some of the most enduring works in the French language, such as his Génie du christianisme, Essai sur les revolutions, and Mémoires d’Outre-Tombe. Now for the first time, selections from all his major works have been newly translated for the Imperium Press Studies in Reaction series.
