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 before.
