The Charterhouse of Parma

Description

Balzac thought of it as the most significant French tale of his time. André Gide later regarded it the best of every single French epic, and Henry James made a decision about it to be a perfect work of art. Presently, in a significant artistic occasion, Pulitzer Prize-winning artist and recognized interpreter Richard Howard presents another version of Stendhal’s epic story of sentiment, experience, and court interest set in mid nineteenth-century Italy. The Charterhouse of Parma narratives the endeavors of Fabrizio del Dongo, an impassioned youthful blue-blood who joins Napoleon’s military not long before the Battle of Waterloo. However maybe the novel’s most extraordinary characters are the saint’s delightful auntie, the charming Duchess of Sanseverina, and her sweetheart, Count Mosca, who plot to assist Fabrizio’s political profession at the slippery court of Parma in a broad story that lights up a whole age of European history.
