«Armance» is Stendhal's novel published by Flammarion in paperback (320 pages, in French).
Stendhal's first novel, published in 1827, is set in Restoration Paris. Octave, an aristocrat and polytechnic graduate, and Armance, a poor relative reduced to a lady's companion, share an elevated idea of love and follow the Greek War of Independence. Their passion clashes with a «fatal secret» that Octave does not confess.

For readers of classic French fiction and nineteenth-century novels with an interest in the psychological introspection of characters.
Marie-Henri Beyle, better known by his pen name Stendhal, was a French writer. Best known for the novels Le Rouge et le Noir and La Chartreuse de Parme, he is highly regarded for the acute analysis of his characters' psychology and considered one of the early and foremost practitioners of realism. A self-proclaimed egotist, the neologism for the same characteristic in his characters was "Beylism".
