Beschreibung

The Life of Henry Brulard is the autobiography of one of France's greatest writers. In this book written with such frankness that it remained unpublishable for more than a century after its composition the author of The Charterhouse of Parma and The Red and the Black tells the story of his unhappy childhood in a stuffy provincial town and uncovers the roots of his rebellious and skeptical temperament. Stendhal conjures up the elusive presence of his beloved mother who died when he was only seven while castigating the smug complacency and social climbing of his father and the cruelty of the aunt whose care blighted his early years. At the same time he recalls the sights sounds places and people of his youth its pleasures and sorrows with an almost preternatural clarity and immediacy. A book of brilliant images and burning emotions The Life of Henry Brulard like Nabokov's Speak Memory is not only a vivid literary memoir but an extraordinary work of the imagination.
