Inhaltsangabe

 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 a possessive older woman. Constant attempted to conceal the fact that these two books were autobiographical. To his friends and acquaintances, however, it was clear that Adolphe was really Benjamin himself. Constant was an able parliamentarian, a champion of liberalism and the author of The History of Religion. Posterity, however, remembers him as the man who bared the anatomy of a destructive passion in the story of Adolphe.

He combined a lively political career with a fertile literary output, while entertaining a series of lesions with some of France's most prominent women. Constant was an able parliamentarian, a champion of liberalism and the author of The History of Religion.
