Fabrizio del Dongo, a young Italian aristocrat, defies his father to join Napoleon's troops and experiences at Waterloo a confusing and far from heroic war.

For those seeking 19th-century historical and romantic fiction and wishing to read Stendhal in his original language.
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".
