There he published his first book Essai historique politique et moral sur les révolutions (1797). The Genius of Christianity (1802 tr. 1856) made Chateaubriand the most important author of his time in France. Two tragic love stories included in this volume "Atala" (1801) and "René" (1802) exemplify the melancholy exotic description of nature and the evocative language that became a trademark of romantic fiction. His other works include The Martyrs (1809 tr. 1812 1859) which celebrated the victory of Christianity over paganism and Les Aventures du dernier Abencérage (1826) a narrative of romance set in Spain.
