Le vestiaire de Chateaubriand

The Great Universal Dictionary of the XIX th century Larousse gives cloakroom word the following definition: "1. Place where one green clothes in a community room where 2 members of a political assembly, court, put on and put on their clothes, the third place where you put some clothes and some accessories that you only wear when you're outside. Put down his coat, his umbrella, his cane in the cloakroom." This book is written in cloakroom form. We wanted to try on the person of the writer, in order to better understand his work, a series of costumes, outfits, uniforms, accessories. Chateaubriand liked to be well dressed. The disguises amused him. We see, during his long life, change regularly personality, role, look. Always elegant, sometimes insolent. The insolence is also a criterion of elegance. Welcome, reader, in the locker room of the "great Rene". Amazon.com
