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, \u003ci\u003eThe Life of Henry Brulard\u003c\/i\u003e is a vivid memoir that is also an extraordinary work of the imagination.","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163568029936,"sku":"9781681371221","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781681371221_p0.jpg?v=1763692536","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781681371221","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
