''Souvenirs d’égotisme'' (French for ''Memoirs of an Egotist'') is an autobiographical work by Stendhal. It was written in 13 days in June and July 1832 while the author was staying in Civitavecchia. Stendhal recounts his life in Paris and London from 1821 to 1830. It includes candid and spirited descriptions of contemporaries such as Lafayette, Madame Pasta, Destutt de Tracy, Mérimée, and Charles de Rémusat.〔 〕 The story remained unfinished and was not published until 1892 by Casimir Stryienski.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= http://www.britannica.com/topic/Memoirs-of-an-Egotist )〕 ==Composition and Background== Stendhal began to write ''Memoirs of an Egotist'' on June 20, 1832, approximately one year after having taken a post as French Consul in Civitavecchia. He was forty-nine and undertook to describe his years in Paris between 1821 to 1830, but sometimes misremembered the dates of events and included incidents that happened earlier. In Paris, Stendhal was active in the literary world and wrote for London periodicals, which paid well. When his literary prospects dried up in 1826 and again in 1828, Stendhal began to look for a government post. His friends managed to secure for him a position first in Trieste and then, following a confrontation with Austrian police, in Civitavecchia. Stendhal put aside the manuscript for ''Memoirs of an Egotist'' for good on July 4, 1832. The approximately 40,000 words of ''Memoirs of an Egotist'' were therefore written in 13 days.
