Forlagsbeskrivelse af The Red and the Black af Stendhal
In this vigorous and fast-moving novel of post-Napoleonic France, Julien Sorel''s plans to reach the higher echelons of society through the priesthood are defelected by his realization that the attainment of happiness is of greater consequence than the pursuit of ambition. Subtitled `A Chronicle of 1830'', Stendhal''s depiction of a nation of smug hypocrites scandalized contemporary readers, who recognized themselves or their peers and felt uncomfortable with the energy, imagination, and sincerity of a hero so patently inspired by their lately deposed Emperor. Julien''s restless energy is fully captured in this specially commissioned translation of one of the world''s great novels.
