Synopsis

Publié pour la première fois en deux volumes en 1839, La Chartreuse de Parme n'à connu son success que plusieurs années plus tard, ce que Stendhal même semblait spéculer dédicaçant son roman To the Happy Few. Ce roman, dense d'aventure, d'amour et de poésie est aujourd'hui un des chef-d'œuvre de la littérature mondial.
