Summary
"Headstrong and naive, the young Italian aristocrat Fabrizio del Dongo is determined to defy his ultra-conservative father and go to fight for Napoleon. He stumbles on the battle of Waterloo, ill-prepared, yet filled with enthusiasm for war and glory. Following Napoleon's defeat, Fabrizio returns secretly to Italy, to pursue a series of amorous adventures under the protection of his aunt and her ministerial lover at the ducal court in Parma." "This new translation by John Sturrock conveys the passion and humour of the original, while his introduction discusses the novel in relation to Stendhal's life and writing career. This edition also includes a chronology, map, suggestions for further reading and explanatory notes."--Jacket
