AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1 volume in-4 imitation leather, 213 pages.
[Print run of 1250]
Published in 1827, Armance is Stendhal's first novel.
It tells the story of Octave de Malivert and his love for Armance Zohiloff in the aristocratic society of the Restoration.
The novel explores themes such as inner unease, honor, secrecy and the impossibility of fully loving.
Octave's character is marked by an intimate enigma (often interpreted as powerlessness), which gives the story its tragic and psychological dimension.
Ottomar Starke
Ottomar Starke (1870–1951) was a German illustrator of the early 20th century.
He is known for his illustrations of literary works, often in a style close to Jugendstil (German Art Nouveau).
His line is elegant, stylized, and emphasizes the atmosphere and emotions.
Link between the two
Ottomar Starke has produced an illustrated edition of Armance.
