(P/B) ITALIAN CHRONICLES

Παρουσίαση

Nine bloody, revenge-filled tales-several translated for the first time-from French writer Stendhal
This new translation of Stendhal's Chroniques italiennes is a collection of nine tales written between 1829 and 1840, many of which were published only after his death. Complete with revenge, bloody daggers, poisonings, and thick-walled nunneries, these collected tales reveal a great novelist working with highly dramatic subject matter to forge a vision of life lived at its most intense. (From the publisher)
