A Major New Translation
The Red and the Black , Stendhal's masterpiece, is the story of Julien Sorel, a
young dreamer from the provinces, fueled by Napoleonic ideals, whose desire to
make his fortune sets in motion events both mesmerizing and tragic. Sorel's
quest to find himself, and the doomed love he encounters along the way, are
delineated with an unprecedented psychological depth and realism. At the same
time, Stendhal weaves together the social life and fraught political intrigues
of post-Napoleonic France, bringing that world to unforgettable, full-color
life. His portrait of Julien and early-nineteenth-century France remains an
unsurpassed creation, one that brilliantly anticipates modern literature.
Neglected during its time, The Red and the Black has assumed its rightful place
as one of the world's great books, and Burton Raffel's extraordinary new
translation, coupled with an enlightening Introduction by Diane Johnson, helps
it shine more brightly than ever ...
