 The Charterhouse of Parma - Definition 

The Charterhouse of Parma (French: La Chartreuse de Parme) is one of Stendhal's two acknowledged masterpieces (and only complete novels), along with The Red and the Black.

The novel is often cited as an early example of realism, a stark contrast to the Romantic style popular while Stendhal was writing.

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

The Charterhouse of Parma tells the story of the young Italian noble Fabrizio, and his mis-adventures during the age of Napoleon. The events center of the town of Parma, and a castle on Lake Como, both in Italy, but other locations across Europe are featured, including the Battle of Waterloo.
