Alfred de Musset (Paris, 1810-1857) ignored his family's warnings and began his literary career more attracted to worldly life than to the writers' circles since he conceived literature as a brilliant social experience. His tempestuous and exhausting relationship with George Sand, continually interrupted and resumed, is discovered in The Confession of a Son of the Century (1836): Octave anticipates his own destruction since in him, as in the central characters of Rolla and Lorenzaccio, pleasure It is the starting point of its annihilation and the foundation of an existential choice. The lives of Musset's characters are as seductive and ephemeral as his writing, detached from moral and political commitments but subject to the emotionality of words and fantasies.
