One of the most prominent French writers of the XIX century, Henri Marie Baille, who wrote under the pseudonym Stendhal, in his lifetime did not enjoy neither the recognition of critics, nor the success of the general reader. His magnificent short stories, novels ‘Red and Black’ (1830), ‘Parma Cloister’ (1839) went unnoticed, only occasionally causing reviews, not always favourable. The writer treated it philosophically. Nevertheless, Merimee, who experienced the influence of Stendhal, highly appreciated him, Balzac admired him, Goethe and Pushkin with pleasure read his novel ‘Red and Black’. And in the XX century Stendhal firmly took a place in the pantheon of classics of European literature. A special place in the works of Stendhal is the book ‘On Love’ (1822). This is not a work of fiction, but a kind of treatise on the oddities and peculiarities of love, its phases (admiration, the birth of love, crystallisation, hope, doubt, etc.), on the first impression, on the specifics of the manifestation of love feelings in different countries.
