Stendhal

Stendhal (1783–1842), the pen name of Henri Beyle, wrote The Red and the Black and The Charterhouse of Parma — novels of ambition, love, and the morning-after of Napoleon. His prose is fast, ironic, and psychologically modern. Stendhal invented a way of seeing the careerist heart. With 5 titles in our catalogue, including French-language readings, he remains the novelist of energy and disillusion sharing one pulse.
