Chateaubriand plot

As a child he took refuge in the forest. There, among the friends and elves of his imagination, he was able to escape the gloomy family castle and demands of his domineering father. As a grown man he lived at the crossroads of history. He witnessed the French and American revolutions and interacted with the protagonists of these. From Washington and Robespierre to Napoleon and Louis XVIII. He saw how humanity took a new direction and how the modern age was ushered in. The Gothic of his childhood gave way to Romanticism. This is the story of François-René de Chateaubriand: researcher, statesman, journalist, lover and the first of the great French novelists. But in the end, his own life was perhaps the most beautiful novel of all...
