The opening of the book introduces the subject of Stendhal and his personal journal, which is portrayed as a mixture of insipid notes and vivid insights into his character and creative process.

By analyzing Stendhal's ambitions—both in love and literature—Lemaître sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the author's personality. He remarks on Stendhal’s energy and contrasts it with other literary figures of his time, hinting at the complexities of Stendhal’s character and how his extensive reflections influenced his creative genius.
