New York. 1959. August 1959. Signet/New American Library. 1st Signet Classic Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0451500016. Translated From The French By Carl Wildman & Norman Cameron. Introduction By Harold Nicolson. The Very First Signet Classic. 160 pages. paperback. CD1. keywords: Signet Classic Europe France Literature Translated 18th Century World Literature. DESCRIPTION - In these two remarkable works, a brilliant, vain, long-suffering Frenchman describes the first twenty years of his life and their culmination in a tortured love affair with an older, possessive woman of the world. Benjamin Constant attempted to conceal the fact that these two books were autobiographical. But to his familiars, it was clear that he himself was Adolphe. And in the intimate account of his strange liaison with EllEnore, he may well have been protesting against his inexorable bondage to his fiery, demanding mistress, Madame de Sta�l. Constant was an able parliamentarian, a champion of liberalism and the author of the History of Religion. But posterity remembers him as the man who bared the anatomy of a destructive passion in the story of Adolphe. inventory #28975.
