This work is not a conventional novel but rather a detailed, scientific account of the various facets and phases of love, which the author describes as a rare kind of madness. Stendhal draws on his experiences in Italy and Germany to dissect the complexities of love and romantic passion, using a methodology that he likens to that of a traveler recounting his observations. The opening of the work introduces both the author's intent and style, as he candidly addresses the societal constraints surrounding discussions of love in France. Stendhal acknowledges the challenges he faces in articulating the nuances of love, suggesting that only those familiar with the feelings he describes would grasp his examination. He dismisses a number of societal figures who would find his writing incomprehensible or distasteful, suggesting that true understanding requires personal experience of an intricate emotional landscape. Through this introduction, Stendhal sets the stage for a thorough exploration of the emotional depths often associated with love, promising a treatment that is both reflective and analytical, rather than merely romantic or anecdotal.
