Light Wear Fraying At Tips Small Repaired Chip At Lower Left Edge Of Spine Refurbished. Stendhal's Too Frank Travel Observations Scarce In This First English Translation. His Observations At Geneva Begin "The Prudery Of The Women At Geneva Is Incredible And Truly Ridiculous. I Have Observed That They Say Exactly The Same Thing To Every Stranger Presented To Them. To Repeat A Certain Formula Taught Them By Their Nurses. I Would Fain Know Who The Traveler Is That First Asserted There Was Such A Thing As Liberty In Switzerland. At Geneva And Berne There Are Four Hundred Surveillans. If You Offend Them Only By The Manner In Which Your Cravat Is Tied You Immediately Become An Object Of Their Persecution." Further Observations Made The Likelihood Of A Further English Translation Small Indeed: "Nothing Can Equal My Admiration Of The English Legislature Unless It Be The Repulsion I Feel From English Society. They Are The Most Unsocial Of Beings; Perhaps For That Reason The Least Happy. To Be Held In Consideration By An Englishman The Most Perfect Air Of Coldness Must Be Assumed." I Don't See Such Observations In My Michelin Or Lonely Planet Guides Perhaps We Have Evolved Or Perhaps We Are Too Terrified To Speak Out. Henry Colburn hardcover

There may be extra carriage cost on this item due to weight. A lovely and well produced set of Stendhal's work. Marie-Henri Beyle; 23 January 1783 – 23 March 1842 better known by his pen name Stendhal was a 19th-century French writer. Best known for the novels Le Rouge et le Noir The Red and the Black 1830 and La Chartreuse de Parme The Charterhouse of Parma 1839 he is highly regarded for the acute analysis of his characters' psychology and considered one of the early and foremost practitioners of realism. A self-proclaimed egotist he coined the same characteristic in his characters' 'Beylism'. Stendhal syndrome Stendhal's syndrome or Florence syndrome is a psychosomatic condition involving rapid heartbeat fainting confusion and even hallucinations allegedly occurring when individuals become exposed to objects artworks or phenomena of great beauty and antiquity. The affliction is named after the 19th-century French author Stendhal pseudonym of Marie-Henri Beyle who described his experience with the phenomenon during his 1817 visit to Florence in his book Naples and Florence: A Journey from Milan to Reggio. When he visited the Basilica of Santa Croce where Niccolò Michelangelo and Galileo Galilei are buried he was overcome with profound emotion. Stendhal wrote: 'I was in a sort of ecstasy from the idea of being in Florence close to the great men whose tombs I had seen. Absorbed in the contemplation of sublime beauty . . . I reached the point where one encounters celestial sensations . . . Everything spoke so vividly to my soul. Ah if I could only forget. I had palpitations of the heart what in Berlin they call 'nerves'. Life was drained from me. I walked with the fear of falling.' Although psychologists have long debated whether Stendhal syndrome exists the apparent effects on some individuals are severe enough to warrant medical attention. The staff at Florence's Santa Maria Nuova hospital are accustomed to tourists suffering from dizzy spells or disorientation after viewing the statue of David the artworks of the Uffizi Gallery and other historic treasures of the Tuscan city. Though there are numerous accounts of people fainting while taking in Florentine art dating from the early 19th century the syndrome was only named in 1979 when it was described by Italian psychiatrist Graziella Magherini who observed over a hundred similar cases among tourists in Florence. There exists no scientific evidence to define Stendhal syndrome as a specific psychiatric disorder; however there is evidence that the same cerebral areas involved in emotional responses are activated during exposure to art. The syndrome is not listed as a recognised condition in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. A more recent account of the Stendhal syndrome was in 2018 where a visitor to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence suffered a heart attack while admiring Sandro Botticelli's The Birth of Venus.
