The Charterhouse of Parma

Stendhal

An Italian aristocrat named Fabrizio defies his father and goes to war to fight for Napoleon. After stumbling upon the Battle of Waterloo, Fabrizio becomes embroiled in a series of amorous exploits back in Milan, fueled by political chicanery from his aunt and her lover. Judged by Balzac to be the most important French novel of its time, The Charterhouse of Parma is a compelling novel of extravagance and daring, blending the intrigues of the Italian court with the romance and excitement of youth.
