Two Stories/Deux nouvelles : A Dual-Language Book (Dual-Language Books)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
From the fine old Italian tradition of narrative art come these two imaginative tales by the grand storyteller Stendhal."Vanina Vanini" traces the fortunes of a Roman aristocrat's daughter who falls in love with a wounded soldier, and "L'abbesse de Castro" recounts the illicit liaison and subsequent trial of an abbess. Both stories abound in the qualities for which the French author remains enduringly popular: his strong-willed, impulsive characters; his dry wit and keen irony; and the sweeping drama of his historical settings. The only dual-language edition of these stories, this volume features an informative introduction and ample footnotes.
