Balzac considered it the most important French novel of his time. André Gide later deemed it the greatest of all French novels, and Henry James judged it to be a masterpiece. Now, in a major literary event, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and distinguished translator Richard Howard presents a new rendition of Stendhal's epic tale of romance, adventure, and court intrigue set in early nineteenth-century Italy.
The Charterhouse of Parma chronicles the exploits of Fabrizio del Dongo, an ardent young aristocrat who joins Napoleon's army just before the Battle of Waterloo. Yet perhaps the novel's most unforgettable characters are the hero's beautiful aunt, the alluring Duchess of Sanseverina, and her lover, Count Mosca, who plot to further Fabrizio's political career at the treacherous court of Parma in a sweeping story that illuminates an entire epoch of European history.
"Stendhal has written The Prince up to date, the novel that Machiavelli would write if he were living banished from Italy in the nineteenth century," noted Balzac in his famous review of The Charterhouse of Parma. "Never before have the hearts of princes, ministers, courtiers, and women been depicted like this. . . . One sees perfection in every detail. . . . [It] has the magnitude of a canvas fifty feet by thirty, and at the same time the manner, the execution, is Dutch in its minuteness. . . . The Charterhouse of Parma often contains a whole book in a single page. . . . It is a masterpiece."
This edition includes original illustrations by Robert Andrew Parker and Notes and a Translator's Afterword by Richard Howard.
上卷(1-13章) 就上卷而言,《帕尔马修道院》就像一部法布利斯的历险记,先是滑铁卢战役,后来又成为代理主教,然后又杀人,又出逃,跌宕起伏,读的时候总让我想起《天龙八部》里段誉的经历。很通俗,情节很丰富,但没有特别精彩的,法布利斯的人物形象也比较模糊,一个不断闯...
评分这是一本妙不可言的书,比《红与黑》更胜一筹,就其艺术上来讲,《红与黑》的成功有着取巧的成分,而这本书,则是放在任何时代,都会闪光的作品。
评分依然能够回想起无数的片段:主人无意杀死地痞流氓,假装中毒骗取女主人的贞操,要塞内和司令女儿的爱情游戏,稀里糊涂参加滑铁卢战役,布道是准备小字条,失控时使用....那个羞涩的大臣对姑妈的追求 这是我看过的小说中描写心里最细腻的小说-----不光是对爱情的心理描写,包括...
评分相比于《红与黑》中的于连,本书中的法布利斯的命运要好得多,他也经历了军人与教士的身份,也杀了人,甚至得罪了巴马公国的统治者艾尔而斯特四世,为此被叛监禁十二年。可是他不仅顺利逃亡,而且还飞黄腾达,当上了巴马总主教,还情场得意。这命运为什么会大相径庭,原因怕只...
评分巴尔扎克、梅里美和司汤达是三位同时代的法国艺术大师,拿他们三人的艺术风格作一个比喻,即使这个比喻不尽恰当吧,也不会是毫无意义的。《人间喜剧》像气势雄伟、色彩绚烂、包罗万象的油画。作者以宏伟气魄、栩栩如生地,但是不无夸张地塑造了许多典型人物,让读者看到了一个...
