CONSIDERAȚII CU PRIVIRE LA SECULARIZARE ȘI ANTICLERICALISM IV/1. ROMANUL „MĂNĂSTIREA DIN PARMA” DE STENDHAL

Abstract

Considerations on secularization and anticlericalism IV/1. The Novel the Charterhouse of Parma by Stendhal. Henri-Marie Beyle, Stendhal's real name, would not have published anything if the Empire had not fallen, the writer being closely related to Napoleon. For this reason, Stendhal comes to literature so late and somewhat by accident, writing essays on painting and music in 1817 with his first book Rome, Naples and Florence. We find here impressions about Italian society, written at the beginning of a seven-year stay in Italy, in Milan. His critical reflections will continue in the Promenades dans Rome, in 1829 and in the Memoirs of a Tourist, in 1838. They would have continued in posthumous volumes as intimate notes, memories, diaries and would have remained in manuscript if, at the age of forty-four, Stendhal had not discovered himself by chance, a novelist.
