Synopsis :

Book by Stendhal

À propos de la quatrième de couverture: In December of 1827, Marie Henri Beyle read a newspaper account of the trial of a Young man charged with the attempted murder of a married woman. With this as inspiration, Beyle-under the pen name of Stendhal-set about writing what was to become one of the great psychological novels of all tune, The Red and the Black. Set in a small provincial French town, and in Paris, the book tells the story of Julien Sorel, a handsome and brilliant Young tutor who is both hero and villain. Considered one of literature's most complex characters, Sorel is cold, opportunistic, and uncompromising with others-including his influential mistress-as he seeks to fulfil his lust for power and wealth; yet he is hopelessly victimized by his own romantic so in and by the military and religious forces-the "Red" and the "Black"-that prevail in all of France. The Red and the Block is at once a brilliant portrait of French society alter the Revolution and a profound psychological study of a Young man's determined struggle to cope with the opposing and often uncontrollable drives within himself.
