Život Byrona

Andre Maurois

The biography The Life of Byron (1930) by André Maurois, is a detailed account of the life and works of the English Romantic poet George Gordon Byron (1788–1824).

Maurois, known for his vivid and psychologically penetrating biographies, provides a comprehensive portrait of Byron, exploring his complex personality, turbulent love history, literary genius, and political engagement. The book follows Byron's life from a childhood marked by poverty and family problems, through his moment of fame after the publication of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812), to his exile in Italy and his death in Greece during the struggle for its independence.

Maurois highlights Byron's charisma, rebellious spirit, and contradictions—an aristocrat who despised social norms, a romantic obsessed with freedom, and a man grappling with personal demons. The novelist analyzes key relationships, such as those with Lady Caroline Lamb and his half-sister Augusta Leigh, and the impact of scandal on his life.

Byron's poetry, including Don Juan and Manfred, is presented as a reflection of his inner conflicts and philosophical reflections. Maurois combines historical facts with literary sensitivity, creating a vivid picture of the Romantic era and Byron's tragic but inspiring life.
