how to take an interest still to Chateaubriand?

the first part of the title is very attractive, one could rest
the book after reading the second.
Big mistake!
This is the story of a man who loved women and women loved him, written by a man who loves women and probably vice versa.
Besides the incomparable style of Ormesson, we find Chateaubriand, the women in his life, Napoleon, diplomacy, Rome, Europe, history, literature, life, ... exciting. To all those that literature "Lagarde and Michard" put off, start this book, it will be better after.
