The Red and the Black

An ordinary case from criminal chronicles, which forms the basis of the novel, became a drama of the highest tension in the hands of a subtle psychologist and brilliant stylist of human nature, and at the same time a social study of society. Julien Sorel – an ambitious and capable young man – experienced both romantic love and a turbulent passion that he could not withstand and for which he paid with his life.
The pinnacle of the writer's creativity. The great novel of Stendhal is, above all, a monument to Female Love. «Red» is love, «black» is death. They never mix, yet for some reason always neighbor. The truth that Stendhal confirmed once again.
