Charterhouse of Parma (Revised)
Charterhouse of Parma (Revised) | Stendhal
5 posts | 10 read | 3 reading | 11 to read
The Charterhouse of Parma (1839) is a compelling novel of passion and daring. Set at the beginning of the 19th-century in northern Italy, it traces the joyous but ill-starred amorous exploits of a handsome young aristocrat called Fabrice del Dongo. The novel's great achievement is to conjure up the excitement and romance of youth while never losing sight of the harsh realities which beset the pursuit of happiness. This new translation captures Stendhal's narrative verse, while the Introduction explores the novel's reception and the reasons for its enduring popularity and power.

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? 6y
Maria514626 I have no advice. But I do have a 🎉🎉👏👏 about the book. His The Red and the Black is also excellent. 6y
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. 6y

I-read-and-eat That is some heavy reading, in weight but also in content 😊 8y
