The Red and the Black by Stendahl & Catherine Slater (trans) Oxford World’s Classics
Requirements: ePUB reader, 1.09 MB
Overview: 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 hame of Stendhal – set about writing what was to become one of the great psychological novels of all time, “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 villian. Considered one of literature’s most complex characters, Sorel is cold, opportunistic, and uncompromising with others – including his influential mistress – as he seeks to fulfill his lust for power and wealth; yet he is hopelessly victimized by his own romantic soul and by the military and religious forces – the “Red” and the “Black” – that prevail in all of France.
