The Red and the Black is a novel by the French author Stendhal, first published in 1830. The story follows Julien Sorel, an ambitious young man of humble origins who seeks to rise in French society during the Restoration era. Through his love affairs and aspirations, the novel explores themes such as social hypocrisy, ambition, and class struggle in 19th-century France. Considered a masterpiece of French literature, The Red and the Black offers a critical view of society and a profound exploration of human psychology.
Marie-Henri Beyle, better known by his pen name Stendhal, was a French writer. Best known for the novels Le Rouge et le Noir and La Chartreuse de Parme, he is highly regarded for the acute analysis of his characters' psychology and considered one of the early and foremost practitioners of realism. A self-proclaimed egotist, the neologism for the same characteristic in his characters was "Beylism".
