About this ebook
Le mélodrame nous a montré si souvent les brigands italiens du seizième siècle, et tant de gens en ont parlé sans les connaître, que nous en avons maintenant les idées les plus fausses. On peut dire en général que ces brigands furent l'opposition contre les gouvernements atroces qui, en Italie, succédèrent aux républiques du moyen âge. Le nouveau tyran fut d'ordinaire le citoyen le plus riche de la défunte république, et, pour séduire le bas peuple, il ornait la ville d'églises magnifiques et de beaux tableaux.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5In 'The Abbess of Castro', Stendhal tells the tragic story of Elena de' Campireali, only daughter in a wealthy 16th century Italian family, and her lover, a brigand named Giulio Branciforte. Stendhal describes the setting in great detail, explaining the influence of wealthy families, their relationship to Rome and the Church, the political allegiances among the brigands, and the particular geography of the Alban Hills in Italy. Sometimes this level of detail seems unmotivated, as when the Abby architecture or a battle formation is described, but later many of these details are shown to have been significant. I found this explanatory prose style to be a bit off-putting, breaking from the narrative too often for my taste, but it did provide vivid depictions of critical scenes and it clarified some complicated character motivations.
