«Les Natchez» is the romantic novel by François-René de Chateaubriand, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback format (667 pages, in French).
A work by Chateaubriand that brings together his three most celebrated texts: the main narrative and the episodes that compose it. The action unfolds across American landscapes, from Louisiana to Canada, in a wild nature that contrasts with the conflicts of desire and exile. The preface and notes by Jean-Claude Berchet situate the whole in the revolutionary era and show how these texts, written during the London exile, became one of the most singular sagas of their time. The edition includes the complete text.
Edition by Jean-Claude Berchet in the Classiques collection from Le Livre de Poche. It is part of a volume that groups «Atala», «René» and «Les Natchez», written between 1797 and 1799.
For readers of classic French literature and those who want to approach Chateaubriand's romanticism in its original language.
François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand was a French writer, politician, diplomat and historian who influenced French literature of the 19th century. Descended from an old aristocratic family from Brittany, Chateaubriand was a royalist by political disposition. He served as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1822 to 1824 and as the French ambassador to Sweden, Prussia, the United Kingdom, and the Papal States.
