Stendhal: L’abbesse De Castro

“Published in 1839 “L’Abbesse de Castro” is one of Stendhal’s “Chroniques Italienne”. Italy fascinated Stendhal and has probably never been honored with more grace and talent by any other french writer than by him. Energy, passion and instinct are the main words to describe Stendhal’s Italy and the energy of his book, red in this 3CD boxset by famed actor Jean Piat for the French national Radio in 1956. In french.” Guillaume LECLERE & Claude COLOMBINI-FREMEAUX
