In 1802, both Atala and Rene were published as part of Chateaubriand's Genie du christianisme. This is a small hardback book, there is no date in this book, but looks early 1900's. The spine is damaged at the top and bottom, but the book is overall in good condition. The inside pages are slightly browned with a little foxing due to age.
