The work portrays with psychological depth the contradictions of a class society and the price of trying to rise.
Work originally published as «Le Rouge et le Noir» in 1830; this Spanish edition dates from 1982.
For readers of nineteenth-century classics, historical fiction, and novels of ambition and social criticism.
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".
