About This Item
1887 Atala Chateaubriand Gustave Doré Romance Tragedy Natchez Indians Chactas
"Atala," by François-René vicomte de Chateaubriand, is a 19th-century romantic novella set in early colonial North America. It tells the tragic love story of Atala, a Christian Natchez Indian, and Chactas, a young Native American from a different tribe. The story explores themes of love, religion, and the conflict between civilization and nature.
This folio edition, translated by James Spence Harry, features 30 striking illustrations by renowned artist Gustave Doré, who captures the dramatic and emotive scenes from the story with his intricate and evocative engravings. Doré's illustrations bring the characters, landscapes, and pivotal moments of Chateaubriand's tale to life, adding depth and visual appeal to this classic work of French literature.
