Beautiful, poetic, nostalgic.

A book of rare erudition and who do not leave without emotions ... What life than Chateaubriand !!!!! Through his love affairs that is the history of France from the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth we are witnessing, life made of tests emigrants fleeing revolutionary France for an exile that many will not be a "golden exile", François-René joined the army of emigrants he leaves after injury ... Then it is England ... Finally I do not dwell because this book deserves plunges fully and it is a pure delight literature, Ormesson always passes for an "old leather breeches" and young people often have easy criticism with respect to our great writers they consider unfairly tacky, leaving one minute your "Harry Potter" and try to "real literature" that Travel will not leave you indifferent !!!!!! It's all initiaque the journey of a young man who through the trials (and women !!!) will become one of our greatest and most famous writer.
Our history and the history of our great men was beautiful and well hectic, no need for heroic-Fantaisy to feast epic actions ...
