«Ernestina o el nacimiento del amor» is a short story by the French writer Stendhal, published by Alianza Cien in paperback (61 pages, in Spanish).
The story illustrates Stendhal's theory of amorous «crystallization»: the lover idealizes the beloved and embellishes reality, and from that idealization love is born. Included among Stendhal's notes on the passions, it anticipates features that would later appear in Rojo y Negro and La cartuja de Parma.
Part of the Alianza Cien collection, number 23. 1994 edition. Original title: Ernestine ou la naissance de l'amour.
For readers of nineteenth-century French literature and of Stendhal's work, with a brief approach to the theory of crystallization.
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".
