Ebook: The Charterhouse of Parma

“I will be famous around 1880,” Stendhal once predicted. Indeed, at about this time he began to attract widespread attention, and many of his previously unpublished books appeared—including A Life of Napoleon (1876), Journal of Stendhal (1888), Lamiel (1889), The Life of Henri Brulard (1890), Memoirs of an Egotist (1892), and Lucien Leuwen (1894). In the twentieth century such writers as Paul Léautaud, André Gide, and Paul Valéry have acclaimed Stendhal’s work. “We should never be finished with Stendhal,” said Valéry. “I can think of no greater praise than that.”

This new translation by the eminent poet, Richard Howard is the choice of STENDHAL.
