  • Un nouveau livre sur Stendhal

L’impression produite par Le Rouge et le Noir fuit surtout celle du scandale ; et ce fut prudence à l’auteur de la Chartreuse de Parme de dédier son livre à quelques lecteurs de choix. ... Read more

La chute est devenue trop aisée de la plaisanterie dans la ... Read more
