Novelist

Marie-Henri Beyle, better known as Stendhal, was a famous 19th-century French writer. He is known for his critical analysis of character recognition. He is also regarded as a precursor to 'realism'. Some of his most famous original works include 'Red and Brown' and 'Charterhouse of Parma', both of which were written in French and later translated into English. His works were considered very different and complex compared to other 19th-century writers. His secret purpose was to become a literary writer; gifted and successful as a playwriter and scholar. However, that dream hit the road when he was appointed commander-in-chief of Napoleon's army. However, this appointment gave him many life lessons and experiences related to Napoleon's reign and war status in Europe. When the war came to an end, his literary calling remained unchanged and he began to write his dissertations on various subjects, which have continued to be some of his masterpieces. He was unfamiliar with his writing style and was known for his beautiful personality and whis, which reflects his works.
