The Charterhouse of Parma
Stendhal
This book is about the adventures and loves of Fabrice del Dongo, the younger son of an Italian count.
Swashbuckling, romance, adventure and humor made for a fun read!
It was also quite an indictment of the Italian political system in the first half of the 19th Century.
I enjoyed this, not only for the fun aspects, but for the historical perspective, as well.
