«O Vermelho e o Negro» is Stendhal's novel, translated by Branquinho da Fonseca and Maria Manuel, published by Leya in hardback (256 pages, in Portuguese).
Julien Sorel, a humble young man, tries to rise in post-Napoleonic France. The novel unfolds between the seminary, the military, and aristocratic salons, with hypocrisy, passion, and political, religious, and social tensions in the background. Julien Sorel combines opportunism with poetic sensibility and a longing for fulfilment.
Work originally published in 1830. This 2000 Portuguese edition corresponds to volume I and is part of the Novis Collection.
For readers of French literary classics and nineteenth-century realism, with an interest in psychological portraits and social critiques.
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".
