Balzac considered it the most important French novel of his time. André Gide later deemed it the greatest of all French novels, and Henry James judged it to be a masterpiece. Now, in a major literary event, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and distinguished translator Richard Howard presents a new rendition of Stendhal's epic tale of romance, adventure, and court intrigue set in early nineteenth-century Italy.
The Charterhouse of Parma chronicles the exploits of Fabrizio del Dongo, an ardent young aristocrat who joins Napoleon's army just before the Battle of Waterloo. Yet perhaps the novel's most unforgettable characters are the hero's beautiful aunt, the alluring Duchess of Sanseverina, and her lover, Count Mosca, who plot to further Fabrizio's political career at the treacherous court of Parma in a sweeping story that illuminates an entire epoch of European history.
"Stendhal has written The Prince up to date, the novel that Machiavelli would write if he were living banished from Italy in the nineteenth century," noted Balzac in his famous review of The Charterhouse of Parma. "Never before have the hearts of princes, ministers, courtiers, and women been depicted like this. . . . One sees perfection in every detail. . . . [It] has the magnitude of a canvas fifty feet by thirty, and at the same time the manner, the execution, is Dutch in its minuteness. . . . The Charterhouse of Parma often contains a whole book in a single page. . . . It is a masterpiece."
This edition includes original illustrations by Robert Andrew Parker and Notes and a Translator's Afterword by Richard Howard.

評分上捲(1-13章) 就上捲而言,《帕爾馬修道院》就像一部法布利斯的曆險記,先是滑鐵盧戰役,後來又成為代理主教,然後又殺人,又齣逃,跌宕起伏,讀的時候總讓我想起《天龍八部》裏段譽的經曆。很通俗,情節很豐富,但沒有特彆精彩的,法布利斯的人物形象也比較模糊,一個不斷闖...
評分雖然很長,但清晰的記得當時是一口氣讀完的,在翻過最後一頁時那種幸福的感覺至今仍在心中停泊。被世道拋棄的少年又被命運所拯救,在一切荒誕和天真中成長,在一切善意和謊言中走嚮注定的美好生活。作者的思緒多麼的飛揚,書中脾氣怪異的人物也仿佛跳起舞來;作者的筆觸多...
