The Memoirs of Chateaubriand is an autobiographical work that spans the author's life from his childhood to his death. Volume II covers the period from 1800 to 1811, a time of great upheaval in France. Chateaubriand returned to France after a long exile and fought for the King in the Napoleonic Wars.
