I enjoyed the pronouncing of names and titles, the Italian puns, fights, court intrigue, and so much more. Charterhouse of Parma is a remarkable book and what’s more, being offered free of cost. I would also recommend Red and Black which has a hero at the centre who also finds himself engaging in adultery and revering Napoleon, and much like in the pertinent story, the character has an unhappy ending.

Mosca, a complicated characterWhat does Edoardo Ballerini bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Depth, feeling, and wonderful pronunciation.If only all your readers of books with European words could pronounce them as well as he does.
I look for books that he reads.

I see many reasons why.
But I don’t think it’s great, however great might be defined.
I won’t bother you with all the features that are traditionally regarded as excellent or those that I admire. I’ll just say that I think the plot unwinds in ways that aren’t particularly interesting, and the characters sort of meander on to the end on disparate courses that seem rather contrived to me.
I take leave of the story with little of the inspiration or glow I tend to have after reading a great piece of literature.
The narration is more than satisfactory.
Highly Regarded, But…

This is a remarkable enjoyable epic of a young man in search of love encountering the ways of the world which have not changed since this book was written. It reminded me of Voltaire's Candide but far more sophisticated in nuance and breadth and soul. It's comparison of the French and Italian personas is very interesting.Another version of Candide
