A review by pazuzuhsp
La Chartreuse de Parme by Stendhal

3.0

It was good, dealt more with Stendhal's environment of bourgeois who can afford not to care much. But all in all it was a good read. It's a good insight to the world of Italy of the 19 century. It is also interesting to see how can a French man be so in love of the Italian culture and it's vibrant people. That sort of passionate stereotype transpires in the characters of the book where feelings are enough to make any decision.
Reminds me of how some foreigners describe Lebanon and why they love it, whereas most Lebanese would kill for a visa.
