One of the greatest 19th-century novels

The Red and the Black, novel by Stendhal, was published in French in 1830 as Le Rouge et le noir. The novel, set in France during the Second Restoration (1815-30), is a powerful character study of Julien Sorel, an ambitious young man who uses seduction as a tool for advancement. The Red and the Black is generally considered the author’s major work and one of the greatest 19th-century novels.

Translation and introduction by Horace B. Samuel (1913).

Stendhal (1783-1842) was the pseudonym of Henri Marie Beyle, born and raised in Grenoble. Offered a post in the Ministry of War, from 1800 onwards he followed Napoleon’s campaigns throughout Europe before retiring to Italy. Here, as ‘Stendhal’, he began writing on art, music and travel. Though not well-received during his lifetime, his work, including The Red and the Black (1830) and The Charterhouse of Parma (1839), now places him among the pioneers of nineteenth-century literary realism.
