 | | The Charterhouse of Parma(Updated) (Oxford World's Classics) von Margaret Mauldon, Roger Pearson, Jm Stendhal, Varios Autores Paperback, 560 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 1999 von Oxford University Press, Usa ISBN-13: 978-0-19-283957-2, ISBN: 0-19-283957-8 "The Charterhouse of Parma (1839) is a compelling novel of passion and daring. Set at the beginning of the 19th-century in northern Italy, it traces the joyous but ill-starred amorous exploits of a handsome young aristocrat called Fabrice del Dongo. The novel's great achievement is to conjure up the excitement and romance of youth while never losing sight of the harsh realities which beset the pursuit of happiness. This new translation c ..." |
 | | The Charterhouse of Parma(Updated) (The World's Classics) von Margaret Mauldon, Henri Stendhal, Roger Pearson Paperback, 560 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 1997 von Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-283183-5, ISBN: 0-19-283183-6 "Officer, diplomat, spy, journalist, and intermittent genius, Marie Henri Beyle employed more than 200 aliases in the course of his crowded career. His most famous moniker, however, was Stendhal, which he affixed to his greatest work, The Charterhouse of Parma. The author spent a mere seven weeks cranking out this marvel in 1838, setting the fictional equivalent of a land-speed record. To be honest, there are occasional signs of haste, d ..." |
 | | La Bete Humaine(Updated) (Oxford World's Classics) von Émile Zola, Roger Pearson, Mile Zola Paperback, 432 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 1999 von Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-283814-8, ISBN: 0-19-283814-8 "Did possessing and killing amount to the same thing deep within the dark recesses of the human beast? La Bete humaine (1890), is one of Zola's most violent and explicit works. On one level a tale of murder, passion and possession, it is also a compassionate study of individuals derailed by atavistic forces beyond their control. Zola considered this his `most finely worked' novel, and in it he powerfully evokes life at the end of t ..." |

How shall a storyteller conceive a life? What if art means pattern and life has none? How, then, can any story be true to life?

Subtitled `A Chronicle of 1830', Stendhal's depiction of a nation of smug hypocrites scandalized contemporary readers, who recognized themselves or their peers and ..." |

"Candide", published simultaneously in five European capitals in 1759, became an instant bestseller and is now regarded by many as one of the key texts of the Enlightenment. A master story-teller, Voltaire found the philosophical tale the perfect vehicle for his preoccupations with evil, human folly, and intolerance. He combined often wildly entertaining ac ..." |
