Stendhal is also mentioned several times a Charterhouse of Parma which is a book about war and individual fate and I strongly suspect all of the literary references have some meaning to Grossman.

Why people recommend it
The Charterhouse of Parma by Stendhal is a classic nineteenth-century novel that explores the political intrigue, romance, and complex personal fates of individuals moving through post-Napoleonic Europe. On How I Write, Dan Wang named Stendhal and his major works as his favorite novelist and a primary creative influence on his own writing style. Tyler Cowen also discussed the novel across multiple platforms, including Conversations with Tyler and EconTalk, noting that Stendhal's book is referenced repeatedly in Vasily Grossman's writing. Cowen highlighted how the text serves as a meditation on war and individual fate, strongly suspecting that Grossman deliberately wove these literary references into his own work to convey deeper thematic meanings. Through these podcast discussions, the novel is recognized not only as a masterwork of French literature in its own right, but also as a vital intertextual touchstone that helps writers and critics explore the intersection of large-scale historical conflicts and the fragile destinies of individual human beings.
