Translated by Louise Varese. The Green Huntsman is a fascinating historical portrait of France in the early ninetheenth century reign of King Louis-Philippe. After the cataclysm of the Revolution and the glorious but shattered illusions of Napoleonic grandeur, France was atrophying under an induced conservatism while deeply rooted conflicts stirred below the surface of society. The Telegraph takes up the career in Paris of Lucien Leuwen, a fashionable young cavalary officer of "republican" leanings but aristocratic tastes. Through Lucien's eyes, Stendhal uncovers the moral decay of a society in which a failing government keeps itself in power by force and trickery, (taken from rear covers).

Translated from the French by Louise Varese. 388 pages. hardcover. Cover art by Lustig & Connor. keywords: Europe France Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Besides his incomparable masterpieces, THE RED AND THE BLACK and THE CHARTERHOUSE OF PARMA, Henri Beyle (who used the pen name 'Stendhal') left the draft for a third great panoramic social novel - LUCIEN LEUWEN. In France, this book is widely read in many editions, but up till now it has not been available in English - a grave injustice to American admirers of French literature, and one which New Directions is now proud to remedy with this superb translation of the work by Louise Varèse. The Green Huntsman, a complete novel in itself, is Book One of LUCIEN LEUWEN. Its sequel, entitled THE TELEGRAPH, will be published in matching format within the year. It has often been observed that Stendhal's heroes are partly himself. Julien Sorel and Fabrizio del Dongo have a similarly engaging blend of the innocent and the impetuous. To them Lucien Leuwen adds a further dimension - a quality of self-analysis which types him as a forerunner of the twentieth century hero who can never get far from the psychic mirror. Attractive, clever, a cavalry officer and very rich, young Leuwen had everything necessary for happiness and success - everything, except belief in himself and the social order of his time. It is the period of King Louis-Philippe, when an induced conservatism was atrophying France after the cataclysm of the Revolution and the glorious illusion that was Napoleon. Here is au historical novel which is the real thing - a portrait without equal of a time, a place, and the way conflicting groups of Frenchmen felt about each other and themselves. Lucien Leuwen comes down from Paris to serve with a regiment garrisoned in the provincial city of Nancy. There, though he is only a rich bourgeois, not of the nobility, he cleverly makes his way into society and dares to fall in love with the blue blood belle of the town. It is a love story of utmost fascination. Paul Valery has written that he learned much about the subtleties of love from reading LUCIEN LEUWEN. It is an experience which others may well share. For seldom has a deep passion of the emotions and the spirit been anatomized in such minute detail and with such psychological fidelity. The magic of France's greatest novelist transports us completely into the hearts of Lieutenant Leuwen and the beautiful Bathilde de Chasteller as their love affair follows its tortuous course. Yet how different is this historical novel from the plodding, heavy-handed productions of our day! For Stendhal was always the ironist. His sense of humor compelled him to see life in terms of comedy. Man struggles, woman suffers and the artist smiles. On every page of THE GREEN HUNTSMAN Stendhal is smiling his inimitable Gallic smile. And the reader's reaction can only be described as a kind of pernicious gaiety. Let us be lowbrow arid say it: here is a novel that bubbles like the best champagne. inventory #19592.

DESCRIPTION - POLITICAL INTRIGUE is always a fascinating subject for fiction. In the hands of a great master like Stendhal it can become utterly absorbing. And so it is in this novel, where we follow the adventures of young Lucien Leuwen, private secretary to the Minister of the Interior in the corrupt French government of Louis-Philippe. Our hero, son of a rich Parisian banker and wit, a blameless young man of embarrassingly high principles, has left his Army post in Nancy because of an unhappy love affair. Through his father's connections, a post is secured in the Ministry, and Lucien's eyes are dramatically opened to the 'realities' of French political life. He learns that his chief, the Minister, regularly plays the stock market with political tips. (The book takes its title - THE TELEGRAPH - from the fact that the French telegraph system - the original, visual semaphore type - is controlled by the government, so that information reaches the Ministers before it reaches the newspapers.) The Minister gambles, but so does his master the King! One of Lucien's first tasks is to suppress the scandal arising from a political murder. He handles this delicate affair so adroitly - though thoroughly disgusted by such shameless doings - that he is sent to the provinces to 'fix' an election. His career reaches a climax when his father begins to dabble in politics himself, is elected a Deputy, forms a successful cabal, and pushes his son, for political reasons, into a cold-blooded love affair with the most beautiful hostess in Paris. Such are the colorful threads in Stendhal's tapestry. But the background is equally rich - an incomparable historical portrait of an age and its ways. And it is less remote from us than might appear. The political climate of Louis-Philippe's reign, when an unpopular government was keeping itself in power by force and by trickery, has many points of comparison with the France of post-World-War-Il. And the American reader may even recognize certain similarities - plus ça change, plus c'est la mEme chose - with our own frenetic Washington. In France, Stendhal's third great masterpiece, LUCIEN LEUWEN, of which this is the second volume, is as well known and as much read as THE RED AND THE BLACK and THE CHARTERHOUSE OF PARMA. American readers will be deeply grateful to Louise Varèse who has given them this magnificent translation, the first to be done in English of this important work. Stendhal never put the finishing touches on this book - he realized that he dare not publish it during his lifetime because of its outspoken revelations of political corruption - but we can be sure that it was one of his favorites from the amount of characteristic wit and irony which he lavished upon it. Mrs. Varèse, whose translation is outstanding both for its fidelity and its vivacity, has contributed a valuable introduction and copious historical notes. inventory #31977.
