The Life Of Henry Brulard by Stendhal

A candid, fragmentary memoir that traces the author's early life and inner contradictions with sharp self-examination and vivid scenes from childhood, provincial upbringing, loves and disappointments; the narrative mixes emotional confession, ironic commentary and stylistic experimentation to probe identity, artistic ambitions, jealousy and the social and political moods of his time, producing a restless, intensely personal portrait rather than a conventional life story.
