The Red and the Black
A Tale of Ambition, Passion, and Power in Post-Napoleonic France
About this book
Can a man of humble birth outwit a world built to exclude him?
The Red and the Black by Stendhal is a revolutionary novel of social ambition, emotional conflict, and personal identity. Set in Restoration-era France, the book follows Julien Sorel, a young provincial tutor who rises through charm and intellect—but is doomed by pride, love, and the rigid structures of class and church.
This profound psychological novel is both a searing critique of French society and a compelling portrait of a complex antihero striving for greatness.
? "Equal parts romance, revolution, and psychological brilliance—Stendhal's masterpiece remains strikingly modern."
? Why Readers Are Drawn to It:
One of the first true modern psychological novels
For fans of Madame Bovary, Crime and Punishment, and Middlemarch
Ideal for readers of French classics, political literature, and philosophical fiction
? Dare to Challenge Power. Read the Mind Behind the Mask.
Buy The Red and the Black today and discover a literary classic that shaped the modern novel.
