Ambientate in un un'Italia ottocentesca in parte fantastica, in parte reale, le avventure di Fabrizio del Dongo si snodano in una serie di incontri e peripezie al termine dei quali si trova il luogo del silenzio, lo spazio simbolico dell'isolamento e della rinuncia: la Certosa di Parma. È un romanzo modernissimo, profondamente "realista". Stendhal vi riassume a un tempo lo spaesamento che la nascente società borghese determina nell'individuo e la perdita tutta individuale delle illusioni.

La cartuja de Parma narra la historia de Fabricio del Dongo durante los últimos años del dominio napoleónico en Europa.

Vanina Vanini is not a love story, though love passes through it. Nor is it a political tale, though conspiracies give it shape. In these brief pages, Stendhal observes — without illusion — how pride dresses as passion, and how ideals dissolve in the quiet collisions of character. Nothing is overstated; everything matters.

Figlio di un falegname, Julien Sorel sogna una brillante carriera militare. Ma le guerre napoleoniche sono finite e la società della Restaurazione chiude le sue porte ai popolani.
