Édition originale de la traduction française."Gamba was the brother of Byron's mistress Teresa Guiccioli. He became Byron's secretary and was with him through the Greek adventure to the end. After Byron's death he came to London where he published this work with the approval and assistance of Hobhouse. He returned to Greece, joined Colonel Fabvier, and died at Methana in 1826. The Narrative was translated very soon after its publication in English (…) Moore regards Gamba's account as a 'discreet but very valuable record of Byron's last days'. Stanhope quoted Byron saying that Gamba and Hobhouse were the two most fitted to write his biography because Hobhouse was his companion in his youth and 'Gamba knew all his latter years'…" [Leonora Navari] ‎
