«Il rosso e il nero», subtitled Cronaca del XIX secolo, is the classic novel by Stendhal, published by Garzanti in paperback (550 pages, in Italian).
It tells the story of Julien Sorel, a young man of humble origins who tries to make his way in Restoration France. His ambition and his relationships with women of high society lead him into a conflict between love, pride and social conventions. Stendhal portrays the hypocrisy of the era with irony, combining personal drama and historical analysis.
It belongs to the I grandi libri collection by Garzanti, with a translation by Mario Lavagetto. The work was originally published in 1830 as Le Rouge et le Noir.
For readers of classic novels and historical fiction who appreciate the great psychological portraits of French literature.
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".
