Description
Römische Gewalt und sizilianische Leidenschaft im 16. Jahrhundert. Das klingt nach Ärger. Es geht das Gerücht um, dass Violanta, die Herzogin von Palliano, einen Geliebten hat. Wäre dies der Fall, bleibt die Frage, ob Violantas Gatte, Don Juan de Palliano, seiner Frau den Ehebruch vergeben kann. Schließlich ist der Onkel von Don Juan de Palliano kein geringerer als Papst Paul IV. Auch Carafa, Don Juans Bruder, scheint bei der Geschichte ein Wörtchen...

Written in just fifty-two days in the year 1839, "The Charterhouse of Parma" has since become known as Stendhal's finest work. Evidence of haste is infrequently apparent in this remarkable story, which follows the eventful life of the young Italian nobleman Fabrizio del Dongo.

Description
In writing these two ardently romantic and turbulent tales, Stendhal delved deep into old Italian narratives and into his own impassioned heart. "Vanina Vanini" and "L'abbesse de Castro" abound in the qualities for which the French author remains enduringly popular: his strong-willed, impulsive characters; his dry wit and keen irony; and the sweeping drama of his historical settings. Originally published in the Revue de Paris in 1829, "Vanina Vanini"...
