"Recunosc ca am inceput sa o citesc din ambitie sa am la portofoliu un autor de valoarea lui Stendhal. Poate de asta nu aveam asteptari prea mari. Insa cartea e placuta, chiar daca pe alocuri te intriga. Eu prefer cartile care trezesc o emotie, fie ea negativa, celor care ma lasa rece. Chiar daca am o conceptie mai conventionala despre familie, e ceva ce te face sa simpatizezi cu eroina adultera; cred ca veridicitatea cu care e construita. In plus, desi abordeaza si tema dragostei, nu e o lectura siropoasa, iar asta ma relaxeaza pentru ca nu sunt o persoana romantica si prefer o emotie mai rationala. Stilul meu, preferintele mele."

About Stendhal

Stendhal, the pen name of Marie-Henri Beyle (1783–1842), was a nineteenth-century French writer. Known for his acute analysis of his characters’ psychology, he is considered one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of realism in his two novels, Le Rouge et le Noir (The Red and the Black, 1830) and La Chartreuse de Parme (The Charterhouse of Parma, 1839).
