François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand
- History
- Book language: English
- 501 pages
The first volume of Chateaubriand's memoirs, an autobiographical and historical work, covers his birth in 1768 and his youth in Brittany. It recalls family life, the castle at Combourg, his education, and the early years of the French Revolution. It is worth listening to for its portrait of a vanishing aristocratic world and a sensitive self-account of a turbulent era.
