Stendhal (1783-1842) is most famous for his two realist masterpieces, 'Le Rouge et le noir', and 'La Chartreuse de Parme', which deal with the political and social landscape of Restoration France and Italy.
"The excellence of Sophie Lewis's translation . . . achieves a fine
balance between idiomatic English and the classicism of Stendhal's
style." --Times Literary Supplement
"We can trust Stendhal's insights and realise at times that this
is, even when being light, a work of great psychological worth and
acuity . . . her translation is spot on, using just the right
language to carry not only Stendhal's pithiness, but a flavour of
the age in which he was writing." --Guardian
