«La Certosa di Parma» is the novel by Stendhal, published by Rusconi Editore in paperback (258 pages, in Italian).
The novel follows Fabrizio del Dongo, a young Italian aristocrat, through adventures ranging from the Battle of Waterloo to the intrigues of the court of Parma. Amid loves, prisons and political ambitions, Stendhal portrays the disillusionment of the individual against a society that crushes ideals, with irony and psychological insight.
The novel was originally published in 1839 as «La Chartreuse de Parme». This Italian edition includes the translation by Ferdinando Martini.
For readers of nineteenth-century classics and historical fiction with amorous and political intrigues.
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".
