About the Author

1783 - 1842. Officier de dragons, puis intendant militaire pendant les guerres de la Revolution et de l'Empire, il decouvre l'Italie, qui marque profondement sa sensibilite. A la chute de l'Empire, il va vivre a Milan et ecrit des opuscules sur la musique et la peinture ainsi qu'un recit de voyage, "Rome, Naples et Florence" (1817-1826), qu'il signe du nom de -Stendhal-. Il publie ensuite "De l'amour" (1822) et un essai sur le romantisme, ou il defend la tragedie en prose et prone l'abandon des regles classiques ("Racine et Shakespeare, " 1823-1825). Meconnu, il fait paraitre "Armance" (1827), "le Rouge et le Noir" (1830), puis il retourne en Italie comme consul a Civitavecchia, persuade que son oeuvre ne peut etre immediatement comprise. Pendant un conge a Paris, il publie "les Memoires d'un touriste" (1838), "la Chartreuse de Parme" (1839) et les "Chroniques italiennes" (1839). Son oeuvre posthume l'a definitivement consacre ("Lamiel, " 1889; "Vie de Henry Brulard, " 1890; "Lucien Leuwen, " 1894). Son style nerveux anime dans une action rapide des heros lyriques (Julien Sorel) qui dissimulent une grande sensibilite sous un apparent cynisme.
