Life of Henry Brulard

French novelist and critic Stendhal witnessed some of the most explosive events of French history -- the revolution, the Napoleonic wars, and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy. He was known as a great wit and liberal in elite circles and enjoyed accolades for his artistic contributions. But his autobiography, The Life of Henry Brulard, was such a frank, accusing work, chronicling the author's unhappy childhood in a stuffy provincial town, that it was deemed unpublishable by the day's standards. First published 100 years after Stendhal wrote it, this autobiography has clarity and a burning immediacy.Stendhal is the author of 'Life of Henry Brulard' with ISBN 9780226772516 and ISBN 0226772519.
