The Red and the Black

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.
