«Armance» is the novel by Stendhal published by Gallimard in paperback, with 320 pages.
Set in Paris in 1827, the novel recounts the relationship between Octave de Malivert, a young man tormented by a secret, and Armance de Zohiloff. Amid misunderstandings and social conventions, the story portrays the difficulty of expressing desire and psychologically analyses the hypocrisy of the French upper class of the era.
Originally published in 1827 under the title «Armance, ou quelques scènes d'un salon de Paris en 1827». This Folio Classique edition includes a preface by Armand Hoog.
For readers of French classics and nineteenth-century novels of psychological analysis.
Marie-Henri Beyle, better known by his pen name Stendhal, was a French writer. Best known for the novels Le Rouge et le Noir and La Chartreuse de Parme, he is highly regarded for the acute analysis of his characters' psychology and considered one of the early and foremost practitioners of realism. A self-proclaimed egotist, the neologism for the same characteristic in his characters was "Beylism".
