Description   (ph19)
Inspired by Chateaubriand's trip to the Americas, this short story - or this poem as he calls it - washis first literary success and not without reasons. Atala or the loves of two savages in the desert, like Romeo and Juliet, has the same dramatic force and the narration of this short happiness, marked by fatality, excited the young romantic generation seduced by the exoticism of Indian customs.
Planned to appear as part of Chateaubriand's Génie du Christianisme but published separately, along with René, Atala is intended to illustrate his praise of Christianity.
Chactas and Atala love each other… But they belong to enemy tribes and, if Atala decides, ultimately, to flee with Chactas into the forest, there are other obstacles to their happiness… Refugees in Father Aubry's community, they do not will be able to prevent fate despite the beneficial influence of the missionary.

Fresh Interior 
François-René, viscount  from Chateaubriand, born in Saint Malo
the September 4  1768
and died at Paris
the 4
July
1848
is a writer
memorialist
and politician
French
He is considered one of the precursors of french romanticism
and one of the biggest names in the French literature
From the nobility Breton , the most famous member of his family
native Saint Malo
Chateaubriand is politically part of the movement royalist . Several times ambassador  with various sovereigns, he is appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs
from 1822 to 1824 under the Restoration
and account, under the reign of Charles X , from  ultraroyalists . The many political and diplomatic responsibilities that mark his career as well as his taste for travel, in America then in the Mediterranean Basin
structure a life marked byexile  and the nostalgia for stability.
His first major publications, theEssay on revolutions
1796) and the  Genius of Christianity
1802), demonstrate his political commitment at the time in favor of counter-revolution
and in defense of Ancien Régime company
But the ideological question very quickly becomes intertwined with the promotion of an original aesthetic which achieves great popular and literary success. : the description of the nature  and the analysis of the feelings of the " I
which he uses in fictions Atala  (1801) and Rein
1802), first published as illustrations of the theses of Genie then attached to the vast romantic cycle of Natchez  (fully published in 1826), make it a model for the next generation of French writers. His propensity for mystery, for amplitude, for emphasis, for melancholy grandeur, his attempt to express unspeakable suffering and his thirst forexoticism
which he reaffirms in the account of his trip to the Mediterranean Route from Paris to Jerusalem
1811 ), earned him to be considered a posteriori as one of " pre-romantic
most influential of his generation. The painful sensitivity of this " wave of passions
illustrated through the character of René, knows an important posterity in the french romanticism
the " evil of the century
of Musset  where the " spleen
of Baudelaire
can be considered, among other things, as distant avatars.
Atala, or The Loves of Two Savages in the Desert is a novel
published in 1801
by thewriter
French
François-René de Chateaubriand
Atala earned him his first real literary success.
Chateaubriand's novel is in fact a praise of Christianity through the adventures of Chactas saved by the virgin Atala. The meeting of Father Aubry and his small community serves this magnificence while defending the savages whose manners can be softened thanks to the true Christian faith, it is a novel whose outline, the scenario, most resembles a diagram of tragedy.
