«Vida de Henry Brulard» is Stendhal's fictionalised autobiography, published by Alfaguara in paperback (456 pages, in Spanish).
Stendhal, under the name of Henry Brulard, recalls his childhood in a provincial town, family life and the roots of his temperament. The narrative interweaves memory and confession during the years of the French Revolution, and gives way to reflections on art, literature, love and thought.
This edition dates from 2004 and belongs to the Clásicos Modernos collection; the work was originally written in French and was not published until more than a century after it was written.
For readers of classic fiction who want to approach Stendhal's personal memory and the atmosphere of revolutionary France.
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".
