Chateaubriand

Chateaubriand! What images does this sound name emerge immediately? A wonderful series of attitudes and costumes. A dreamy child, in the heather, around an old castle ... A young French officer at the Peaux-Rouges, among charming wild women, in the virgin forest ... A book that reopens the churches and take out the processions ... The moonlight, the indeterminate crown of the forests, the smell of amber crocodiles ... A writer jealous of the glory of Napoleon ... A royalist who serves the king with the most disdainful fidelity ... A deaf old man near the armchair of an old lady, beautiful and blind ... A tomb in the rocks on the sea ...
