L’écriture autobiographique chez François-René de Chateaubriand Dans les Mémoires d’outre-tombe

Abstract

It is difficult to realize the theme of the  writer in some  of  the  literary works such as «  After death Memoirs »  by Chateaubriand  because the writer himself is a good representative of his age .writing  biography of a writer is considered a hard work  because writing doesn’t transfer the identity of the writer  clearly besides the literary text has  an unrealistic dimension

even if  the events  narrated  in the text  are real.

In an attempt to present  exquisite  writings to his readers ,Chateaubriand consider the value of literary work as more  superior  than the reality of its events.«After death  memoirs» can hardly

Present  the idea  of  ego because  of its value and  the unique  methods of expression.

The attitude of  Chateaubriand  towards writing  biography  is interesting because «After death memoirs» is considered  as  a continuous project  although it may  submit  to the continuous changes of  the writer .the biography  of Chateaubriand  exceeds  the limits  of his personality

And  includes France  and  its future ,this gave  Chateaubriand   a chance to make  a comparison Where  the writer  presents his literary  mediations. Writing  biography makes it necessary for

The writer  to ask about  the theme behind  writing .

In fact biography is  an example of  meditation because  the writer asks himself  about  the reasons  which led him  to attract the  attention  of the readers  to his destiny.At  the end  of the «After death memoirs » Chateaubriand  devoted  himself  to  presume his literary  project as he

Finished  his memoirs  at the age of  73.Chateaubriand wanted  to achieve  a victory  against

Time  by  death  besides  he succeeded  in creating  the  immortality  in order  to keep  himself  Immortal  even  after  death
