by Stendhal
About this book
Creators: Stendhal (1783-1842) and Henry Debraye (1878-1948) [Editor] "Vie de Henri Brulard, tome 2" by Stendhal is an unfinished autobiographical work written in 1835-1836. Approaching fifty, Stendhal reflects on his life from a Roman hillside, seeking self-knowledge through memory. He traces his character to childhood experiences: his hatred of monarchy and religion, his passion for Italy linked to his beloved mother, his love of mathematics and logic. Through vivid visual memories and sketches, he excavates the origins of who he became, creating an archaeology of the self. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
