    About this audiobook

    The Charterhouse of Parma is a twisting tale of passion and intrigue following the adventures of Fabrizio del Dongo, a young Italian nobleman who dreams of glory on the battlefields of Europe and finds himself fighting alongside Napoleon at Waterloo. After returning home, Fabrizio becomes entangled in Machiavellian scheming, an ill-advised romance, and a fatal duel that lands him in prison, where he begins a star-crossed love affair with the ethereal Clelia, the commandant’s daughter. Admired by Balzac, who considered it the most important novel of his time, The Charterhouse of Parma is a profoundly moving reflection on power, prestige and freedom.

    Stendhal

    Stendhal, de son vrai nom Marie-Henri Beyle, est né le 23 janvier 1783 à Grenoble, en France. Il est l'un des écrivains les plus éminents du XIXe siècle, connu pour ses romans d'analyse psychologique et sociale tels que Le Rouge et le Noir et La Chartreuse de Parme. Issu d'une famille bourgeoise, Stendhal a été profondément influencé par les idéaux de la Révolution française et par son admiration pour Napoléon Bonaparte, qu'il a servi en tant qu'officier de l'armée. Cette expérience a nourri son intérêt pour l'ambition et la lutte des classes, des thèmes centraux dans son oeuvre. Stendhal a débuté sa carrière littéraire avec des essais sur l'art et la musique avant de se tourner vers le roman. Le Rouge et le Noir, publié en 1830, est inspiré par un fait divers réel, l'affaire Berthet, et explore la complexité des émotions humaines à travers le personnage de Julien Sorel. Le roman a été salué pour sa profondeur psychologique et sa critique sociale, bien qu'il ait également suscité la controverse pour sa représentation de l'ambition et de l'immoralité. En plus de sa carrière littéraire, Stendhal a été un critique d'art perspicace et un diplomate. Il a passé de nombreuses années en Italie, où il a trouvé l'inspiration pour plusieurs de ses oeuvres. Sa capacité à capturer les nuances de la société et de la psychologie humaine a fait de lui un pionnier du réalisme et du romantisme. Stendhal est décédé le 23 mars 1842 à Paris, laissant derrière lui un héritage littéraire durable qui continue d'influencer les écrivains et les lecteurs du monde entier. Ses oeuvres sont aujourd'hui considérées comme des classiques de la littérature française, et il est reconnu pour son style incisif et sa capacité à dépeindre la complexité des relations humaines.
