Stendhal - a German pen-name for a French writer who hated the
English. Contemporary to some of the great names of French
literature like Balzac and Flaubert, Stendhal is quite often
considered a writer that doesn't seem to fit a defined genre. Some
say he's a Romantic, others that he's a Modernist and that Le Rouge
et Le Noir is the first modern novel. On one point they are all
agreed: the novel is a masterpiece that shows a young theology
student - Julien Sorel - intelligent, handsome and who is
determined to rise above his humble peasant origins. Stendhal
presents the reader with a satirical plot that will involve you in
passions, intrigues, last-minute reversals and, mostly, the
hypocrisy by which society operates. (Summary by sailormoon)
