Karma is a bitch, he’ll be on this Earth during eighty years. When Chateaubriand writes about his birth and childhood, he mentions that his mother inflicted life upon him and he wasn’t happy to live. It’ll be my experience as a reader, which is personal and has nothing to do with the intrinsic value of this monument of literature. This billet will not bring anything to literary critic of the Memoirs, I don’t have the skills or the knowledge to do that. I trust him to pick the best parts of the forty-two books of Chateabriand’s Memoirs for lazy readers like me. Jean-Claude Berchet, a literary critic specialist of Chateaubriand, selected the texts of this anthology. I bought this anthology of Memoirs From Beyond the Grave during my literary escapable to Combourg in July. Memoirs From Beyond the Grave by Chateaubriand (1849) An Anthology Original French title: Mémoires d’outre-tombe.
