Publisher's Synopsis
Unlock the more straightforward side of Atala with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!
This engaging summary presents an analysis of Atala by Chateaubriand, an early Romantic novel told from the point of view of an elderly Native American patriarch who once fell in love with the titular character. The novel's descriptions of exotic landscapes and heightened emotions make it a key forerunner of the Romantic movement in France, while its overt praise of Christianity made it a controversial work when it was published in the aftermath of the French Revolution. François-Auguste-René de Chateaubriand was a French writer and politician who is known in particular for his novels Atala and René, his five-volume political treatise The Genius of Christianity (which includes both Atala and René) and his memoirs.
