Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Les Contemporains, Vol. 4: Etudes Et Portraits Litteraires

Stendhal appartient, en effet, a une generation robuste, violente, brutale, nullement reveuse, nulle ment pessimiste. Lui-meme est un male, un sanguin, un homme d'action. Ilest, par son libre choix, lieu tenant de dragons a dix-huit ans il est commissaire des guerres en Allemagne et en Autriche il fait, sur sa demande, la campagne de Russie. C'est un soldat, un administrateur et un diplomate, et qui a le gout de ces diverses fonctions. Si, a certains moments, il est triste et decourage jusqu'a songer au suicide (du moins il le dit), c'est par accident et pour des motifs precis un manque d'argent, un espoir decu mais ce n'est point par l'eliet d'une melancolie generale.
