«Vanina Vanini» is Stendhal's romantic novella, published by Larousse in paperback (126 pages, in French).
Set in Rome in 1820, the story follows the impetuous Princess Vanina Vanini, fascinated by Missirilli, a young Carbonaro fighting for Italy's independence. To protect him and keep him close, Vanina uses her powers of persuasion; romantic passion and political loyalties clash in a denouement with irrevocable consequences.
«Vanina Vanini» was originally published in 1829. This Larousse edition, from the Petits Classiques collection, includes the complete text, notes, bibliography and filmography.
Edition aimed at the Collège level: intended for students of French and for anyone seeking a romantic classic with study aids and an unabridged text.
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".
