One of the brightest French authors of the XIX century, Henri Marie Beil, who wrote standal under the pseudonym, did not use criticism in his confession, no success with a wide reader. Nevertheless, Merim, who has experienced the influence of the standal, who later took place in the Pantheon of the classics of European literature, highly appreciated his work, Goethe and Pushkin read it with Roman Red and Black.
The action of the last novel of the standal Parma abode, enthusiastically accepted by Balzac, is going on in Italy, a country of strong passions and a great culture. His theme becomes the fate of the Italians generation, which entered into life at the end of the 18th century, passionately dreaming of the independence of the Motherland, but the battle of Waterloo marked the collapse of enthusiastic illusions. The tensions of the events (murder, imprisonment, escape, clarifying the mystery of birth and death), deep psychological experiences of heroes, for the sake of love going to betrayal and sacrificing the most expensive, attacking the impressive image of historical events of that epochus turn the novel into the undoubted masterpiece of world literature
