This edition, published in 2001, belongs to the Grandes obras collection and translates the original work Le rouge et le noir, which appeared in 1830.
This novel is aimed at readers of French literary classics and nineteenth-century realism, with an interest in psychological and social portraiture.
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".
