About this product
Product Information
Charts the rise and fall of an ambitious young social climber in a cruel, monarchical society Handsome, ambitious Julien Sorel is determined to rise above his humble provincial origins. Soon realizing that success can only be achieved by adopting the subtle code of hypocrisy by which society operates, he begins to achieve advancement through deceit and self-interest. His triumphant career takes him into the heart of glamorous Parisian society, along the way conquering the gentle, married Madame de R nal, and the haughty Mathilde. But then Julien commits an unexpected, devastating crime--and brings about his own downfall. The Red and the Black is a lively, satirical portrayal of French society after Waterloo, riddled with corruption, greed and ennui, and Julien--the cold exploiter whose Machiavellian campaign is undercut by his own emotions--is one of the most intriguing characters in European literature. Roger Gard's fine translation remains faithful to the natural, conversational tone of the original, while his introduction elucidates the complexities of Julien's character. This edition also contains a chronology, further reading and an appendix on Stendhal's use of epigraphs. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Praise for Burton Raffel's translations For Balzac's Père Goriot "Raffel's Père Goriot is both faithful and beautiful, and that makes it a masterpiece." --Alain Renoir "I predict that this translation will give Balzac's great novel a new life for English and American readers. . . . The definitive translation for this generation." --Peter Brooks "[Raffel's] translation has the vigor and elasticity of Balzac's style, and catches with uncanny accuracy the tone of the period." --Guy Davenport For Cervantes's Don Quijote "[Raffel's Don Quijote ] recasts the original into lively English, without losing the complexity and flavor of the Spanish. . . . This Quijote flows smoothly and reads, in fact, like original prose rather than a translation." --Adrienne Martin, Praise for Burton Raffel's translations For Balzac's Père Goriot "Raffel's Père Goriot is both faithful and beautiful, and that makes it a masterpiece." -Alain Renoir "I predict that this translation will give Balzac's great novel a new life for English and American readers. . . .
