Den odödliga berättelsen om Julien Sorels uppgång och fall

Den unge landsortspojken Julien Sorel studerar vid prästseminariet och kommer som informator till borgmästarfamiljen de Rênal i Verrières. Han drivs av ärelystnad och ett hat mot överklassen och bestämmer sig för att förföra borgmästarens hustru. Han inleder också en relation med dottern i en annan överklassfamilj, Mathilde De la Mole. Men han spelar ett högt spel, och hans idealiserade bild av sig själv och andra kommer snart att möta den hårda verkligheten.I Rött och svart tecknar Stendhal ett livfullt panorama över det tidiga 1800-talets Frankrike och dess klassamhälle: intriger, maktkamper, sociala skrankor, skådespeleri. Den ironiska distansen och den psykologiska klarsynen driver berättelsen om Julien Sorels uppgång och fall från den rådande romantiska världsbilden och in i det moderna. I svensk översättning av Tage Aurell.

STENDHAL var en pseudonym för den franske författaren Marie-Henri Beyle [1783-1842]. Hans första bok var en reseskildring från Italien år 1817. Bland hans övriga verk märks främst Om kärleken [1822] och Kartusianklostret i Parma [1839]. Det stora genombrottet kom med Rött och svart år 1831, som löst baserades på ett verkligt rättsfall. Den anses allmänt markera inledningen för den moderna realistiska romanen.

»Stendhal är den sista stora franska psykologen.« | Friedrich Nietzsche

»Rött och svart är en roman långt före sin tid.» | André Gide

»Vi kan aldrig känna oss klara med Stendhal. Och något högre beröm än så kan jag inte föreställa mig.« | Paul Valéry

Promenader i Rom

AvStendhal

Pocket, Svenska, 2024

89 kr

Promenader i Rom av Stendhal (1783-1842), för första gången i svensk översättning.

Promenader i Rom är Stendhals litterära skildring av sina upplevelser och observationer under en två år lång vistelse i Rom. Läsaren bjuds med på en resa, inte bara genom den eviga stadens gator, utan även till dess konst, historia, människor och oskattbara kulturella rikedomar. Promenader i Rom är inte bara romantikens stora kärleksförklaring till Rom. Det är ett tidlöst litterärt verk som visar på hur plats och identitet, konst och kännande subjekt, nuet och det förflutna, ständigt vävs samman i en alltid pågående och föränderlig process.

I svensk översättning av Margareta Zetterström och med förord av Kristina Kappelin.

Kartusianklostret i Parma

Skickas

Nyutgåva av Stendhals klassiska roman. Kartusianklostret i Parma är en av de första moderna romanerna. Författaren skildrar sina gestalter i full storlek utan att anpassa dem efter den goda smakens eller moralens diktat. Läsaren får följa den vackra Sanseverinas intriger och den djärve Fabricio del Dongos öden från nederlaget vid Waterloo till den stilla klosterfriden i Parma i denna lysande sedeskildring från Italien vid 1800-talets början.

Stendhal (pseudonym för Henri Beyle, 1783–1842) är en av 1800-talets viktigaste franska författare. Kartusianklostret i Parma fick inte någon större framgång under författarens livstid och han tillägnade den därför ”the happy few”. Men eftervärlden har räknat honom till de verkligt stora författarna och hans läsare räknas i miljoner. Stendahl sa själv att han avskydde ”den tillkrånglade stilen … När jag skrev La Chartreuse brukade jag för att träffa den rätta tonen varje morgon läsa ett par sidor ur civillagen”. Hans verk kännetecknas av skarp psykologisk analys och en tydlig, distinkt stil.

A timeless treatise on the unique power of human emotion, Stendhal's Love is translated by Gilbert and Suzanne Sale with an introduction by Jean Stewart and B.C.J.G. Knight in Penguin Classics.In 1818, when he was in his mid-thirties, Stendhal met and fell passionately in love with the beautiful Mathilde Dembowski. She, however, was quick to make it clear that she did not return his affections, and in his despair he turned to the written word to exorcise his love and explain his feelings. The result is an intensely personal dissection of the process of falling - and being - in love: a unique blend of poetry, anecdote, philosophy, psychology and social observation. Bringing together the conflicting sides of his nature, the deeply emotional and the coolly analytical, Stendhal created a work that is both acutely personal and universally applicable.This translation retains all the colour and passion of the original and is accompanied buy the author's original prefaces and appendices. In their introduction, Jean Stewart and B.C.J.G. Knight discuss the relationship between Stendhal and his beloved and explore his views on feminism, education and society.Stendhal (1783-1842) was the pseudonym of Henri Marie Beyle, born and raised in Grenoble. Offered a post in the Ministry of War, from 1800 onwards he followed Napoleon's campaigns throughout Europe before retiring to Italy. Here, as 'Stendhal', he began writing on art, music and travel. Though not well-received during his lifetime, his work, including The Red and the Black (1830) and The Charterhouse of Parma (1839), now places him among the pioneers of nineteenth-century literary realism.If you enjoyed Love, you might like Gustave Flaubert's Sentimental Education, also available in Penguin Classics.'The single most insightful book on the role of imagination on love'John Armstrong, author of Conditions of Love: The Philosophy of Intimacy

Charting the rise and fall of an ambitious young social climber in a cruel, monarchical society, Stendhal's The Red and the Black is translated with an introduction and notes by Roger Gard in Penguin Classics.Handsome, ambitious Julien Sorel is determined to rise above his humble provincial origins. Soon realizing that success can only be achieved by adopting the subtle code of hypocrisy by which society operates, he begins to achieve advancement through deceit and self-interest. His triumphant career takes him into the heart of glamorous Parisian society, along the way conquering the gentle, married Madame de Rênal, and the haughty Mathilde. But then Julien commits an unexpected, devastating crime - and brings about his own downfall. The Red and the Black is a lively, satirical portrayal of French society after Waterloo, riddled with corruption, greed and ennui, and Julien - the cold exploiter whose Machiavellian campaign is undercut by his own emotions - is one of the most intriguing characters in European literature.Roger Gard's fine translation remains faithful to the natural, conversational tone of the original, while his introduction elucidates the complexities of Julien's character. This edition also contains a chronology, further reading and an appendix on Stendhal's use of epigraphs.Stendhal (1783-1842) was the pseudonym of Henri Marie Beyle, born and raised in Grenoble.

He stumbles on the Battle of Waterloo, ill-prepared, yet filled with enthusiasm for war and glory.

In this vigorous and fast-moving novel of post-Napoleonic France, Julien Sorel's plans to reach the higher echelons of society through the priesthood are defelected by his realization that the attainment of happiness is of greater consequence than the pursuit of ambition. Subtitled `A Chronicle of 1830', Stendhal's depiction of a nation of smug hypocrites scandalized contemporary readers, who recognized themselves or their peers and felt uncomfortable with the energy, imagination, and sincerity of a hero so patently inspired by their lately deposed Emperor. Julien's restless energy is fully captured in this specially commissioned translation of one of the world's great novels.

The Charterhouse of Parma (1839) is a compelling novel of passion and daring, of prisons and heroic escape, of political chicanery and sublime personal courage. Set at the beginning of the nineteenth century, amidst the golden landscapes of northern Italy, it traces the joyous but ill-starred amorous exploits of a handsome young aristocrat called Fabrice del Dongo, and of his incomparable aunt Gina, her suitor Prime Minister Mosca, and Clélia, a heroine of ethereal beauty and earthly passion. These characters are rendered unforgettable by Stendhal's remarkable gift for psychological insight. `Never before have the hearts of princes, ministers, courtiers, and women been depicted like this,' wrote Honoré de Balzac. `Stendhal's tableau has the dimensions of a fresco but the precision of the Dutch masters.' The great achievement of The Charterhouse of Parma is to conjure up the excitement and romance of youth while never losing sight of the harsh realities which beset the pursuit of happiness, nor the humour and patient irony with which these must be viewed. This new translation captures Stendhal's narrative verve, while the Introduction explores the novel's reception and the reasons for its enduring popularity and power.
