Memoirs of an Egotist
This book contains the memoirs of Stendahl or in his own words the 'chatter about his private life' between 1821 and 1830. It was between these dates that he moved to Paris and here looks back on his life as an eccentric bachelor. 'As well as Beyle the clairvoyant self-investigator, the sardonic analyst of Parisian salon society and deliberate cultivator of wit, here emerges Beyle the despairing lover, the shakespearean enthusiast, whose romantic sentiment run always parallel with his eighteenth-century logic'. Marie-Henri Beyle - better-known by his pen name, Stendhal - was born in Grenoble, France in 1783. He turned to writing after the final defeat of Napoleon in 1815, notable works include A Life of Rossini (1824), A Life of Napoleon (1929) and The Red and the Black published in 1830. A number of works were published posthumously, including Lamiel (1889), Memoirs of an Egotist (1892) and Lucien Leuwen (1894). Stendhal is now regarded as one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of literary realism.

Recuerdos de egotismo
Considerada por escritores como Paul Léautaud y André Gide una obra maestra del género memorialístico, "Recuerdos de egotismo" nos devuelve al París de la primera mitad del siglo XIX, donde el joven Henri Beyle, antes de ser "Stendhal", intenta encontrar su sitio como novelista y amante. Literatos de salón, aristócratas y gacetilleros desfilan por estas páginas únicas de la literatura universal. Con traducción de José Luis Arántegui recuperamos la excelente edición de este clásico para Gallimard de Béatrice Didier e incluimos otros escritos como "Proyectos de autobiografía" y el atípico breviario "Privilegios". "El genio poético ha muerto, mas ha venido al mundo el genio de la sospecha. Estoy hondamente convencido de que una perfecta sinceridad es el único antídoto capaz de hacer olvidar al lector los eternos yoes y míes que el autor se dispone a escribir. ¿Tendré valor para contar cosas humillantes sin salvarlas con prefacios infinitos? Así lo espero."
