«La certosa di Parma» is Stendhal's historical novel, published by Rizzoli in paperback (712 pages, in Italian).
In a nineteenth-century Italy, between the real and the imaginary, it narrates the adventures of Fabrizio del Dongo, a young aristocrat caught up in political and amorous intrigues. Stendhal captures the individual's disorientation in bourgeois society and the loss of illusions, with the charterhouse as a symbol of renunciation.
Work originally published in 1839 as La Chartreuse de Parme; this Italian edition appeared in 1980, with a translation by Maria Ortiz and an introduction by Antoine Adam.
For readers of classics and historical fiction, interested in the nineteenth-century European novel.
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".
