Synopsis

Excerpt from Atala; Indian Cottage; Idyls; And First Navigator Monsieur de Chateaurbriant, the ingenious author of Atala, was led by a curiosity, natural to youth, to visit Louisiana, a country so vvery new, and so entirely different from any he had seen in Europe. In 1789 he went to North America. "In the midst of deserts, under the huts of savages," says he, "was Atala written. I do not know whether the public will like this story, which differs so much from all others, and describes manners and customs quite foreign to our own. To give this work the most antique form, I have divided it into Prologue, Recitation, and Epilogue. The principal parts of the narration I have denominated The Huntsmen, The Husbandmen, &c. in imitation of the rhapsodists, who, in the time of primitive Greece, sung fragments of Homer, under different titles. "Every one knows what has been the sad fate of France for these many years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
