Details
L’auteur de La Chartreuse de Parme est l’un des écrivains les plus connus et les plus étudiés dans le monde mais il n’a pas toujours plu, surtout à ses concitoyens de Grenoble. Ses antécédents l’ont rendu acide vis-à-vis de sa ville natale et de ses congénères. La vie de l’artiste romantique est indissociable de son œuvre. Quel mystère se cache derrière cet homme si mal aimé que pour ses obsèques, seules trois personnes y assistèrent? Partons à la découverte d’un romantique, bien dauphinois malgré tout !
Henri Beyle, known as Stendhal, or one of the “Demi-Gods of French Litterature”
The author of La Chartreuse de Parme is one of the best-known and most studied writers in the world, but he was not always popular, especially with his fellow citizens of Grenoble. His background made him bitter towards his hometown and his peers. The life of the romantic artist is inseparable from his work. What mystery lies behind this man who was so unloved that only three people attended his funeral? Let’s set off to discover a romantic man who was very much a Dauphinois despite everything!
