La confession d'un enfant du siecle by Alfred De Musset
Alfred Louis Charles de Musset-Pathay (1810-1857) was a French dramatist, poet, and novelist. After attempts at careers in medicine, law, drawing, English and piano, he became one of the first Romantic writers, with his first collection of poems, Contes d'Espagne et d'Italie (Tales of Spain and Italy) (1829). He was the librarian of the French Ministry of the Interior under the July Monarchy. The tale of his celebrated love affair with George Sand, which lasted from 1833 to 1835, is told from his point of view in his autobiographical novel, La Confession d'un Enfant du Si cle (The Confession of a Child of the Century) made into a film, Children of the Century. Musset's Nuits (Nights) (1835-1837) trace his emotional upheaval of his love for George Sand, from early despair to final resignation. He was dismissed from his post as librarian after the revolution of 1848, but he was appointed librarian of the Ministry of Public Instruction during the Second Empire. He received the L gion d'honneur in 1845, at the same time as Balzac, and was elected to the Acad mie fran aise in 1852.
Best Known as a poet in the English-speaking world, Alfred de Musset (1810-57) is regarded in his native France as perhaps the most significant dramatist of the first half of the nineteenth century. Ibsen admired his work, Turgenev imitated it, while Scribe even thought some of Musset's comedies funnier than his own. Oberon Books publishes Peter Meyer's translations of Three Farces by Feydeau, four one-act plays by the same author (as From Marriage to Divorce) and Thirteen Monologues (six by Feydeau, seven by Cocteau)
