About the book

Stendhal's The Charterhouse of Parma follows the young Italian aristocrat Fabrice del Dongo through the turbulent world of post-Napoleonic Europe. His romantic enthusiasm leads him toward the Battle of Waterloo and later into the intrigues of the court of Parma, where love, ambition and political manipulation shape his fortunes. The novel combines adventure, romance and satire with a penetrating study of power and individual desire.
