«René» is the short novel by François-René de Chateaubriand, published by Larousse Editions in paperback (167 pages, in French).
René is a young man tormented by melancholy who seeks refuge in nature and solitude. His meditations revolve around alienation, the search for meaning, and disenchantment with society. Considered a key work of French Romanticism, it reflects the sensibility of an age of uncertainty and the longing for transcendence.
The novel was originally published in 1802; this 1996 edition belongs to the Classiques Larousse collection and includes the complete text.
Aimed at students of French and fans of Romantic classics.
