The work was originally published in 1837 under the title Chroniques italiennes; this 1999 Espasa edition belongs to the Biblioteca Clásica series.
For readers of classic literature and historical fiction interested in Renaissance Italy.
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".
