Here, writing at white heat and with such ferocious honesty and indignation that his book was to remain unpublishable for more than a century after its composition, Stendhal revisits his unhappy childhood in a stuffy provincial town and bares his rebellious heart. His adored mother, who died when he was only seven; a father devoted only to his own social ambitions; the aunt whose daily cruelties passed for care: these are among the indelible portraits in a work that captures the sights, sounds, places, and characters of Stendhal's youth, its pleasures and sorrows, with preternatural clarity and immediacy. Full of dazzling images and burning emotions, <i>The Life of Henry Brulard</i> is a vivid memoir that is also an extraordinary work of the imagination. 73134 1925 The Life of Henry Brulard (New York Review Books Classics) total:32|5:12|4:9|3:4|2:6|1:1| 32 121 116 2 0 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Sep 22 20:26:41 -0700 2007 Wed Dec 26 14:40:24 -0800 2007 2 0 false false Mon Aug 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 05 10:39:15 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 12 06:16:45 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 17:23:58 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 17:23:58 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Nov 01 01:02:38 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 01:02:38 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 22 14:01:51 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 14:01:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 11 10:51:56 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 10:52:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 08 20:44:52 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 20:44:52 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Sep 04 21:22:18 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 21:22:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 15:37:48 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 15:37:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 31 17:54:44 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 17:54:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 30 08:57:19 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 08:57:19 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Fri Aug 21 10:22:42 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 10:22:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 17 14:15:30 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 14:15:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 17 14:15:19 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 14:15:35 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Aug 12 08:25:37 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 08:25:37 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Aug 11 16:13:51 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 16:24:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 03 11:00:14 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 11:00:14 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Aug 01 02:39:11 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 02:39:11 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jul 12 06:27:30 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 06:27:30 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Sat Jul 04 20:29:19 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 20:29:19 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=75600
