charterhouse

The director asked the charterhouse if it would be possible for him to film them in 1984.

Hmmm, early in _The Charterhouse of Parma_ one Count Prina is murdered by thugs armed with umbrellas.

Also Stendhal, in Charterhouse of Parma, almost all characters are expressed in terms of so many francs and sous per year.

In agreement, let me cite the exception that proves the rule: Charterhouse monks.

Registered office: Welken House, 10-11 Charterhouse Square, London, EC1M 6EH.

Stendhal also has a description of Waterloo in his Charterhouse of Parma, but I think Hugo did a better description, besides it appears Stendhal wrote Charterhouse in a great hurry, as I recollect, he finished the whole novel in 52 days, I do find it not as finely turned out as Les Miserables.

I remember the butcher on the main Farringdon Road just near the Charterhouse St junction, who was somewhat of a character, scoffing at my suggestion that he would even consider buying meat from Smithfield - literally around the corner - which confused and amused me at the same time.

Apparently these public schools (Eton, Harrow, Winchester, Westminster, Rugby, Charterhouse and Shrewsbury) were intentionally designed to turn out sociopathic narcissists with a penchant for violence and cruelty - who were the kind of people that the system's architects thought were needed to run the British Empire.

Early in The Charterhouse of Parma, a sometime minister is set upon and killed by reactionary thugs armed with umbrellas: Après la chute de Napoléon, certains personnages puissants à Milan firent assommer dans les rues le comte Prina, ancien ministre du roi d’Italie, et homme du premier mérite.

Stendhal dictated “The Charterhouse of Parma” in seven weeks.

Watch “Slow Horses” and you’ll see all those sights, including Barbican tube stop and its pedestrian bridge, Charterhouse square benches, the brutalist towers, my work’s favorite little pub, etc.

"Apparently these public schools (Eton, Harrow, Winchester, Westminster, Rugby, Charterhouse and Shrewsbury) were intentionally designed to turn out sociopathic narcissists with a penchant for violence and cruelty" My time at a public school (60s) was irredeemably vile, but this statement is utter bollocks.

My partner worked for several years as a healthcare assistant at the (possibly?) original Charterhouse[1] in London.

Charterhouse of Parma, War and Peace, and Les Miserables as well.

Charterhouse of Parma is one of my favorite novels.
