The first half of Lucien Leuwen is certainly the most interesting. Featuring the archetypal Stendhalian hero (young, male, Byronic but fiercely introspective), Lucien leaves the home of his parents, joins the army and gets involved in a set of intrigues while garrisoned in a small French town. He falls in love with Bathilde, and the affair is portrayed with typical Stendhalian psychological mastery. Outsmarted by his opponents at the end of the first section, in the second he flees back to Paris in order to live in the shadow of his famous politician father. He joins the Parisian bureaucracy and becomes involved in a whole different set of intrigues.
Stendhal had planned to write a third part, a happy ending, but could not bring himself to do so, preferring to truncate the novel instead of ruining its authenticity. While in some ways this is a novel for the fans (that is to say, start with The Red and the Black if you haven't read any Stendhal), it is definitely worth buying and reading. ( )
