Stendhal narrates a young aristocrat’s adventures in Napoleon’s army and in the court of Parma, illuminating in the process the whole cloth of European history.

This yarn is an epic and yet intimate tale of political intrigue and erotic frustration. Almost since the moment it appeared it has been considered a masterpiece.
