Hi,

I'm trying to find an english translation of Chateaubriand's Memoires
d'outre-tombe (memoirs from beyond the tomb] (1849?50).

I am willing to apy up to £25 for the book, but I need to have it
before the 28th of Febraury. (I live in England). I don't mind if the
book is hard/softback or a new or old edition. If it is an old
edition, I'd like the book to be in good condition.

Can you help??

Hi maccat,

Ill trust one of these people can help you find the book....
