«Armance» is Stendhal's novel, published by Insel Verlag in a 253-page German-language paperback edition.
The work tells the story of Octave de Malivert, a brilliant and melancholic young man, and his cousin Armance de Zohiloff. Set during the French Restoration, the novel portrays how misunderstandings, social barriers, and a personal secret prevent their love from flourishing. Stendhal combines psychological introspection with a critique of Parisian aristocracy, anticipating the realism of his later works.
Stendhal's first novel, originally published in 1827, with the original title «Armance, ou quelques scènes d'un salon de Paris en 1827».
For readers of nineteenth-century French literature and psychological realism who want a German edition of this classic novel.
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".
