«Vanina Vanini» is the collection of three stories by Stendhal with «Mina de Vanghel» and «Les Cenci», from Gallimard, in paperback (224 pages, in French).
Three nineteenth-century stories about women who pursue their own happiness in the face of love, power and cruelty. In the title story, Princess Vanina Vanini falls in love with a wounded Carbonaro fighting for Italian unity, in a conflict where love and politics can hardly be reconciled. It is accompanied by «Mina de Vanghel» and «Les Cenci».
Published in 2004 in the La Bibliothèque Gallimard collection, with a pedagogical dossier and complete text in French.
Recommended for high school students, particularly those studying classic French literature in class.
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".
