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...
评分看这书我感到隔膜,大概因为我对那段历史缺乏必要的了解。众所周知资产阶级自由主义终于战胜了专制的君主主义这是历史的进步,虽然作者对于这些自由主义分子表现出了明显好感,但是以我现在的观点来看,仍不明白躲在这勇猛正直的资产阶级后面的阴谋、金钱、自妄,有什么值得欣...
评分 评分司汤达的书我总共看了两本,第一本是赫赫有名的《红与黑》,第二本就是这本《帕尔马修道院》。这两本书我都觉得不太好看。写的故事像流水账,无法感动我的心灵,里面描写的爱情,也没觉出它们的伟大。《帕尔马修道院》里面法布里斯的姑母凭着自己的美貌、金钱与任性,将帕尔马...
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...
