Ph4 / France / Grenoble

The University in Grenoble, in collaboration with the local library, posted about 500 pages of Stendhal's manuscripts on Internet, including his travel notes, letters and essays, writes The Guardian. According to one of the editors of the site Cecile Meynard, the site With manuscripts is of interest not only for specialists, but also for ordinary readers. In addition to the manuscripts themselves, the site also contains their transcripts: Stendhal's handwriting is very illegible. As the publication notes, the library of Grenoble has a large number of manuscripts and drafts of Stendhal, and in due course on the site should appear the digitized autographs of his novels, including "Life of Henri Brylar 'and the unfinished book' Lucien Leven". At the same time, the manuscripts of 'Red and Black' and 'Parma Cloister' - the two most famous novels of the writer - will not be published on the site, since they were destroyed.
