The Life of Henri Brulard
enlightenment
The Life of Henry Brulard is an unfinished autobiography by Stendhal. It was begun on November 23, 1835, and abandoned March 26, 1836, while the author was serving as the French Consul in Civitavecchia. Stendhal had severe doubts about contemporary interest in his autobiography, so he bequeathed it to the reader of 1880, or of 1935, or 2000. The manuscript, including Stendhal's numerous diagrams and illustrations, was published in 1890. Stendhal primarily discusses his unhappy and dull childhood, touching briefly on his time as a soldier. The Life of Henry Brulard is considered a masterpiece of autobiographical writing and ironic self-reflection.— Wikipedia
