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.

评分自从翻开这本厚实的小说那天,我就对它产生了浓厚的好奇。凭心而论,“修道院”一词实在不算吸引人,我也并没有因为这个里生活较远的词而有精力去搭理此书。真正让我感到好奇的,是写在红底白字的大标题下面的那行小字,我看到了一个大名鼎鼎的名字——司汤达。 司汤达...
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...
