About the book

Stendhal's The Red and the Black, also known as Scarlet and Black, follows Julien Sorel, an ambitious young man of modest background seeking advancement in Restoration France. Intelligent and intensely self-conscious, Julien moves through provincial society, the Church and aristocratic Paris while navigating love, hypocrisy and social ambition. The novel combines psychological insight with a sharp critique of class, politics and opportunity after the fall of Napoleon.
