«Trois chroniques scandaleuses» is an anthology of three stories by Balzac, Stendhal and Maupassant, published by Librio in paperback (80 pages).
The volume brings together three narratives by Balzac, Stendhal and Maupassant on the theme of parricide: «L'Élixir de longue vie», a fantastic tale; «Les Cenci», a chronicle by Stendhal; and «Un parricide», a realist narrative. With humour and irony, the authors reflect on morality, justice and the notion of the hero in the 19th century.
Published in August 2012, it is part of the Librio Literature collection, where it bears number 1046.
For readers of 19th-century French literature who want to discover little-known texts by three classic authors.
