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.

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...

当小说家写作时,它们的头脑中有时会出现一个完全不存在或罕为人知的世界,他们会在这片围场里创造出反应自己精神思想的产物,而不会去顾及真实社会上的一些琐事。这一看法有理有据。单拿巴尔扎克来说,他是一位有着罕见的天才的人,他在有生之年写下的 著作最后汇集成一个残缺...
