The Red And The Black تأليف: stendhal

Better known by his nom de plume of STENDHAL, French author was born in Grenoble on. 23rd of January 1783. With his father, who was a lawyer in the parlement of Grenoble, he was never on good terms, but his intractable disposition sufficiently explains his unhappy childhood and youth. Till the age of twelve, he studied under a priest, who succeeded in inspiring him with a lasting hatred of clericalism. He was then sent to the newly established Ecole centrale at Grenoble, and in 1799 he was sent to Paris with a letter of introduction to the Daru family, with which the Beyles were connected. Pierre Daru offered him a place in the ministry of war. With the brothers Daru, he followed Napoleon to Italy. Most of his time in Italy was spent in Milan, a city for which he conceived a lasting attachment. Much of his chartreuse de parme seems to be autobiographical of this part of his life.
