Sur les bords du Mississippi, la vie du jeune Chactas commence mal. Sa tribu vaincue, son village détruit, son père mort, ce jeune Indien intrépide, après un rapide passage par la ville, a été fait prisonnier par ses ennemis héréditaires. Promis à une mort atroce, ses derniers jours sont pourtant illuminés par la présence d'Atala, la fille du grand chef. Cet amour lui rendra peut-être la vie. Les deux jeunes gens pourront-ils s'enfuir et échapper à leur destin ? Sur fond d'Amérique et de bons sauvages, Chateaubriand revisite l'histoire de la fille du geôlier, à la mode romantique : en proie au mal du siècle, Atala et Chactas font partie de ces êtres d'exception qui ne connaîtront jamais de répit. L'étroitesse du monde est une torture qui ravage les grandes âmes : telle est la sombre leçon que Chateaubriand, de René aux Mémoires d'outre-tombe, ne cessera de répéter, à travers une écriture majestueuse à force de souffrances.
