Publié en 1830, Le Rouge et le Noir de Stendhal est un roman historique et psychologique qui dépeint l’ascension sociale et les ambitions de Julien Sorel, un jeune homme ambitieux issu d'une famille modeste. À travers ses tentatives pour gravir les échelons de la société, il se trouve souvent dans les intrigues au milieu de personnes influentes. Satire mordante de la société française du XIXe siècle, l'œuvre s'attaque aux hypocrisies de l'Église et des aristocraties, tout en constatant la folie des actions du protagoniste.

Julien Sorel es un plebeyo provinciano, inconformista y rebelde que, si bien carece de recursos, ha recibido del bondadoso cura de su pueblo una educación privilegiada. Ello, unido a su afán de poder y a la seducción que ejerce sobre las mujeres, despierta en él la inquebrantable resolución de hacer fortuna. La ascensión y caída de Sorel darán pie a una vívida descripción de una época que no ha ajustado cuentas con el pasado. Compleja y poderosa, esta obra cumbre del XIX sitúa a su autor como el primer novelista de genio de la era burguesa.

In the coming-of-age story, we follow a young Italian nobleman, Fabrizio Valserra, Marchesino del Dongo, on many adventures, including his experiences at the Battle of Waterloo, and romantic intrigues.

Young Julien Sorel, the son of a country timber merchant, carries a portrait of his hero Napoleon Bonaparte and dreams of military glory. A brilliant career in the Church leads him into Parisian high society, where, 'mounted upon the finest horse in Alsace', he gains high military office and wins the heart of the aristocratic Mlle Mathilde de la Mole. Julien's cunning and ambition lead him into all sorts of scrapes.

En un aserradero perdido en los bosques del Franco Condado, un joven seminarista despreciado por su ruda familia, lleno de sueños y ambiciones, lee un libro. Poco sospecha que su vida está a punto de dar un giro decisivo y que su entrada como preceptor en casa de monsieur de Rênal será el comienzo de su apertura al amor, a la vida y, finalmente, al crimen.

The Charterhouse of Parma is a twisting tale of passion and intrigue following the adventures of Fabrizio del Dongo, a young Italian nobleman who dreams of glory on the battlefields of Europe and finds himself fighting alongside Napoleon at Waterloo. After returning home, Fabrizio becomes entangled in Machiavellian scheming, an ill-advised romance, and a fatal duel that lands him in prison, where he begins a star-crossed love affair with the ethereal Clelia, the commandant’s daughter.

Publié en 1839, "La Chartreuse de Parme" a été écrit en 53 jours par Stendhal. L'œuvre a pour décor l'Italie si chère à Stendhal. La Sanseverina possède toutes les dimensions de la femme amoureuse et objet d'amour passionné, tandis que le héros, Fabrice del Dongo, est un enfant béni des dieux. Mais leur fougue et leur sentimentalisme vont les mener à un destin tragique.

So what would Al Gore choose if he had a book club? Gore named Stendhal's The Red and the Black, a 19th century classic chock full of adultery, betrayal, and moral vacuity, as his favorite book on a recent broadcast of Oprah. It's a bit shocking of a choice, given his wife and running mate's position on clean, wholesome literature. Listen and decide for yourself the merit of this presidential pick.

La cartuja de Parma narra la historia de Fabricio del Dongo durante los últimos años del dominio napoleónico en Europa. Su tía Gina, la fascinante duquesa Sanseverina, y el amante de esta, el primer ministro del ducado, urden un plan para promocionar la carrera del adorado sobrino en la corte de Parma.

Both a sweeping chronicle of 19th-century France and a coming-of-age story of a young, idealistic social climber, The Red and the Black is one of the great works in world literature, and widely considered to be the first psychological novel. It charts the misadventures and romantic escapades of Julien Sorel, a timber miller's son who idolises Napoleon and dreams of military glory. But post-Waterloo, the path to power does not lie with the army (the 'red'), but the Church (the 'black'), so he decides to study for the priesthood.

Julian Sorel is a handsome, naïve but not wholly innocent young man, born of peasant stock. He is, however, very ambitious and determined to succeed in life and make a career for himself. If this involves lying, guile and hypocrisy - so be it. Not so long ago, two professions would have been open to him - the army or the church - but in the wake of Waterloo and the defeat of Napoleon, it would be preferable to take Holy Orders.

The author dedicates his story to 'The Happy Few'. This presumably means those who lead lives free of hypocrisy and deceit. They are few indeed in the second part of this authoritative novel of early 19th-century France. Julien Sorel leaves the country town of Verrieres and flees to Paris with the sound of guns in pursuit. He is to take up a post as secretary to M. de la Mole, an influential businessman in the capital.

Le XIXe siècle en France est un âge d'or littéraire, marqué par des courants très affirmés comme le romantisme, le réalisme, le naturalisme ou le symbolisme, et une évolution moderne de la poésie et du roman qui donna naissance à des chefs-d’œuvre en nombre inégalé. Cette collection de citations présente la pensée de sept figures incontournables du XIXe siècle sous forme concise et accessible.

Ambientate in un un'Italia ottocentesca in parte fantastica, in parte reale, le avventure di Fabrizio del Dongo si snodano in una serie di incontri e peripezie al termine dei quali si trova il luogo del silenzio, lo spazio simbolico dell'isolamento e della rinuncia: la Certosa di Parma. È un romanzo modernissimo, profondamente "realista". Stendhal vi riassume a un tempo lo spaesamento che la nascente società borghese determina nell'individuo e la perdita tutta individuale delle illusioni.

"Le Rouge et le Noir", publié en 1830, est le premier grand roman de Stendhal.
