«- Je vous parlerai comme à moi-même, dit Octave avec impétuosité. Il y a des moments où je suis beaucoup plus heureux, car enfin j'ai la certitude que rien au monde ne pourra me séparer de vous ; mais, ajouta-t-il... et il tomba dans un de ces moments de silence sombre qui faisaient le désespoir d'Armance... - Mais quoi, cher ami ? lui dit-elle, dites-moi tout ; ce mais affreux va me rendre cent fois plus malheureuse que tout ce que vous pourriez ajouter. - Eh bien ! dit Octave... vous saurez tout... Ai-je besoin de vous jurer que je vous aime uniquement au monde, comme jamais je n'ai aimé, comme jamais je n'aimerai ? Mais j'ai un secret affreux que jamais je n'ai confié à personne, ce secret va vous expliquer mes fatales bizarreries.»

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Stendhal warming up before his great works By Guillermo Maynez I am a big admirer of Stendhal. His novels "The Red and the Black" and "The Charterhouse of Parma" are, in my opinion, two of the best in world literature, as well as some of his short stories, especially those included in his "Italian Chronicles". "Armance" is an early novel, in which Stendhal explores an uncommon subject, especially for his age: impotence. The novel is far from vulgar or obscene, instead, it depicts a very difficult and painful dilemma, ages before Viagra came to the rescue. In spite of its being an early work, Stendhal displays here one of his trademark characteristics: although there is much drama, he remains aloof and distant, avoiding melodrama and corniness. In 1827, Octave is a young man living the moment in which an aristocratic young Frenchman must become a grown-up. This includes getting married. Small wonder that he is rather gloomy and tormented about the whole idea, since he feels obliged to find a rich wife, but he is in love with his cousin, Armance, an orphaned, sensitive and intelligent young woman. And there you have your drama: he is shy because of his illness; she is shy because she's poor. Doomed love. Nevertheless, Octave will decide to marry her after an equivocal incident in which her honor might be at risk, thus finding a suitable excuse to let her finally know how much he loves her (those were the days). I won't spoil the ending, but it is an interesting solution to the problem.In this tragic book, we can observe how social conventions and the rigidity of human interaction prevented real communication, which helped make problems even worse. Stendhal himself, however, remains unmoved and at some points you get the feeling he is ironically smiling at the sufferings of these poor bourgeois people.This is not a masterpiece by Stendhal, but it is interesting because the tale is good and because here you can see the first steps in a literary career which left us truly great books.

Indifferent or madnes,contempt or hate are all masks that love wears too often but everytime too late. That is what i learn from this book and i am thankfull for that.
