In sixteenth-century Italy, Hélène, educated in the convent of Castro, and Jules, son of a bandit, experience an absolute passion opposed by their different social standing, religion, and an adverse fate. It is one of Stendhal's Italian Chronicles: a story of love, violence, and death that anticipates The Charterhouse of Parma.
It belongs to Stendhal's Italian Chronicles; the work was originally published in 1832.
Readers of French classics and stories of thwarted love set in sixteenth-century 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".
