Charterhouse of Parma
Charterhouse of Parma | Stendhal
5 posts | 10 read | 3 reading | 11 to read
More than any other nineteenth-century writer, Stendhal was imbued with the spirit of the French Revolution and its Napoleonic aftermath, and this spirit gives "The Charterhouse of Parma," the masterpiece he published in 1839, a freshness and radical originality we normally associate with the great texts of the twentieth century. Remarkable for its detail, its political prescience, and the far-reaching psychological insight with which its characters and their passions are developed, this picture of the intricate intrigues at the court of a small Italian duchy illuminates, through its intense concentration on local events, a whole epoch of European history.(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)

I need some help here! The red cover holds a C K Scott Moncrieff translation and an essay on Stendhal by Balzac. The black cover is translation by Lowell Hair and intro by Harry Levin. But I've also heard that the Richard Howard translation is the one to go with. Advice?

merelybookish Do you own both of these copies? Maybe read the first few pages, see which one you prefer? 7y
Maria514626 I have no advice. But I do have a 🎉🎉👏👏 about the book. His The Red and the Black is also excellent. 7y
Leniverse @merelybookish @Maria514626 I found them both (and more editions) in a bookstore. In the end I left them behind because I couldn't carry them all and had to prioritize. I figured I'd better research translations before buying Stendhal. 7y

Someone said big books? Well yes #ilikebigbooks 😀😁 These four are the biggest ones I have although I left back home others with over 1000 pages.

Hobbinol The Idiot is one of my favorites❤️ 8y
Alma @Hobbinol Me too! It's worth all the days spent reading it 😄 8y
I-read-and-eat That is some heavy reading, in weight but also in content 😊 8y
