Chateaubriand a toujours estimé qu il appartenait à une « génération perdue » : celle qui a vu le rationalisme optimiste des Lumières se compromettre dans la faillite sanglante de la Terreur. Adam a voulu goûter du fruit défendu : au lieu de devenir semblable à Dieu, il s aperçoit qu il est nu. dipe croyait régner dans la clarté paisible des énigmes résolues : il ne découvre plus, au c ur de sa destinée, qu inceste et parricide. Il ne reste plus à Prométhée qu à nourrir un intense sentiment de culpabilité. Pour incarner ce retour moderne du tragique, le futur mémorialiste ne se contente pas de relire Pascal ou Milton : il renouvelle la poétique du récit. Par la splendeur des images, par la beauté de leur lyrisme, par leur étrangeté onirique, ces trois « nouvelles » ne cesseront pas de projeter sur le XIXe siècle leur éclat de diamant noir.
