About the author

Stendhal, the pseudonym for Marie-Henri Beyle (1783–1842), was a prominent figure in nineteenth-century French literature. Known for his acute analysis of his characters' psychology, he is considered one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of realism in his novels. Born in Grenoble, Stendhal was a complex character with a diverse career including periods as a soldier, a civil servant, and an opera manager before finally finding his voice as a writer. His works often reflect his preoccupation with individuality, passion, and societal constraints. Stendhal's 'The Red and the Black' and 'The Charterhouse of Parma' are notable works, acclaimed for their character development and depiction of 19th-century society. While 'Love, Lust & Heartbreak: 50 Romance Classics in One Collection' is not an original title by Stendhal, it likely includes excerpts or adaptations of his musings on love and romance, subjects he keenly explored through his own experiences and his fictional characters. His narrative approach combined with an unapologetic exploration of human emotion has cemented his standing as a key figure in romantic literature and beyond. Stendhal's legacy endures through his psychological insight and literary style, influencing generations of readers and writers.
