Stendhal (1783-1842) - Pseudonym of Marie-Henri Beyle Stendhal is one of the most original French writers of the first half of the 19th century, who played a major role in the development of the modern novel.
Stendhal is best known for his masterpieces 'LE ROUGE ET LE NOIR' (1830) and 'LA CHARTREUSE DE PARME' (1839), sharp and passionate chronicles of the intellectual and moral climate of France after Napoleon's defeat.
Stendhal also wrote travel books, literature and art reviews, and biographies about such composers as W.A. Mozart and Joseph Haydn.
Stendhal's subjects are often melodramatic, but they form a fascinating frame for his psychologically deep stories of selfishness and different paths towards self-discovery.
His psychosomatic reaction to the overdose of beautiful art, disorientation, powerful emotions from confusion to hallucinations, is nowadays called 'Stendhal syndrome'.
