Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pages Choisies des Grands Ecrivains: Chateaubriand; Avec une Introduction
Il trouve d'abord a Bruxelles 1 etat - major ou l'on s'amuse; mecontent, il court chercher a Treves l'etat - major ou l'on se bat. Alors commence une odyssee lamentable. Incorpore dans l armee du prince de Waldeck, Chateaubriand connait toutes les souf frances du soldat en campagne. Un havresac, qui lui brise les epaules, contient toute sa fortune Homere, une gourde, quelques hardes, deux che mises, et ses manuscrits. On lui vole ses effets, mais on lui laisse ses paperasses. Le manuscrit d'atala lui sauva la vie. Deux balles avaient frappe le sac Atala, en fille devouee, se placa entre son pere et le plomb ennemi; il lui restait a soutenir le feu de l'abbe Morellet.
