In its first modern translation, a novel-cum-memoir of a Frenchman’s erotic awakening in Italy by a preeminent writer of the Romantic period In 1812 Alphonse de Lamartine, a young man of means, traveled through southern Italy, where, during a sojourn in Naples, he fell in love with a young woman who worked in a cigar factory—and whose death after he returned to France would haunt him throughout his writing life. Graziella, Lamartine called this lost girl in his poetry and memoirs—and also in Graziella, a novel that closely follows the story of his own romance. “When I was eighteen,” the narrator begins, as if penning his memoir, “my family entrusted me to the care of a relative whose business affairs called her to Tuscany.” The tale that unfolds, of the young man’s amorous experiences amid the natural grandeur and subtle splendors of the Italian countryside, is one of the finest works of fiction in the French Romantic tradition, a bildungsroman that is also a melancholy portrait of the artist as a young man discovering the muse who would both inspire and elude him. Remarkable for its contemplative prose, its dreamy passions and seductive drawing of the Italian landscape, and its place in the Romantic canon, Graziella is a timeless portrait of love, chronicling the remorse and the misguided ideals of youth that find their expression, if not their amends, in art.

From the intro: "THE story of Graziella is a leaf torn from the personal memoires of the famous French historian, poet and orator who wrote it, -brightened by his smiles and moistened with his tears. Had it not been for Graziella, "Les Confidences" of Lamartine might never have been published. Many years after this Italian romance of his youth as late as 1843 Lamartine went into retreat on the island of Ischia to write his "History of the Girondists." He was in sight of the isle of Procida where Graziella had lived and he had loved, and his hours of recreation were passed under the shade of a lemon tree, writing out the recollections of this charming episode. It was while he was thus engaged one day, that his friend, Eugene Pelletan, surprised him with a visit. Pelletan was curious to know what Lamartine was doing, and the latter, on the impulse, read him a few pages from his journal. Pelletan was much moved at the recital, and, when he returned to Paris, told a publisher of that city he might make his fortune if he could secure these recollections of Lamartine's youth. The following Autumn, when Lamartine had returned home, he received a letter from the publisher offering him any price he would name for his journal. Though the improvident author was then in embarrassed circumstances, he declined the offer. Some years before, he had purchased the estate at Milly on borrowed money, that he might die in the old homestead. He was now forced to part with a portion of it. A week after the first offer for the Recollections, came another letter from Paris importuning their publication. The second letter was received at the moment a notary was drawing the deed for the sale of the Milly estate; Lamartine was in a humor to accept any alternative rather than part with the house hallowed by so many sacred associations. He seized the deed from the table, tore it in fragments, and wrote to the Paris publisher: "I accept." Omitting a brief sojourn in Rome, this little volume includes all of Lamartine's first visit to Italy from the time he left his home at Milly, -a hamlet nestling in the valley of the Saone, on the road from Macon to the old abbey of Cluny, where Abelard died. He was traveling with a relative who was called to Leghorn on business, and it was intended that he should return home from there; but his strong desire to see Rome and Naples induced him to write to his father for permission to visit those cities. He was then but eighteen years old. Having written, he resolved to preclude disobedience by going without waiting for a reply. "If the refusal comes," he said, "it will come too late. I shall be reprimanded, but I shall be forgiven; I shall return, but I shall have seen." His impressions of Rome were vivid and his descriptions singularly picturesque, but as they are not pertinent to the story of Graziella they are omitted, thus offering alone what he has himself called "that mournful and fascinating presentiment of love."

Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... The physical fatigue and the emotions of the day threw us into a sudden and deep sleep. When we awoke the swallows were chirping around our bed and picking from the ground the crumbs of our supper; and the sun, already high in the heaven, heated the fagots of leaves over our heads as if they had been in a furnace. We lay a long time stretched upon our fern leaves, lost in that peculiar state of a half sleep, in which the mental faculties perceive and think before the senses give one the courage to get up or move. We exchanged a few inarticulate words that were interrupted by long pauses and were lost in our dreams. The experiences of the previous day, the boat rolling under our feet, the angry sea, the inapproachable rocks of the coast, the face of Graziella looking out between the two shutters and in the light of the torch, -- all these visions flitted before us confusedly and without connection or appreciation. We were attracted from this drowsiness by the sobs and complaints of the old grandmother, who was talking to her husband inside of the house. The chimney, which ran through the terrace, brought us the sound of the voices, so that we could hear some words of the conversation. The poor woman was lamenting the loss of her jars, of the anchor, of the ropes that were almost new, and, above all, of the beautiful sails woven by her own hands from her own hemp, all of which we had been cruel enough to throw into the sea to save our own lives. "What business had you," she asked of the old man, who was frightened into silence, " to take these two strangers, these two Frenchmen, with you? Don't you know that they are pagans (pagani, ) and that they always bring misfortune with their wickedness? The saints have punished you for it. They have...
