"Le Cahier Rouge" [The Red Notebook], by Benjamin Constant, the author of "Adolphe" and "Cecile", is the "elegant and cynical memoirs of his youth..His autobiographical works provide a glimpse of Constant himself, a curious blend of intellect and emotion, classicism and romanticism, trying to understand himself..Constant's works continue to speak to the modern conscience." [Dolbow, "The Dictionary of Modern French Literature: From the Age of Reason through Realism" pp. 67-68].

The book label of Monroe Wheeler, former Director of Exhibitions and Publications at the Museum of Modern Art, is mounted on the half-title.

The text is in French. Very good .
