Title : The Confession of a Child of the Century - Alfred de Musset - Book
Summary :
In this autobiographical novel, Musset mixes the imprecation of the children of the century, mourning freedom, orphans of Napoleon, and the sentimental confession of a young man betrayed by his mistress, fallen into debauchery, but who will be swept away by passion for an older woman again. The loss of revolutionary hope is mixed with the abandonment of sentimental illusions. In the face of History as in love, it is the end of childhood. Musset, the sensitive and tormented poet, the sincere playwright, becomes here a ferocious novelist. Published in 1836, at the age of twenty-six, this only novel by Musset, which transposes his relationship with George Sand, is a masterpiece of Romanticism.
