Translated by C. K. Scott-Moncrieff Introduction by Hamilton Basso Illustrated by Rafaello Busoni Collector Edition part of the 100 Greatest Books Ever Written Series. This collector's edition from Easton Press is a stunning tribute to Stendhal's genius and style. It features a ruby red leather binding with 22 kt gold accents and lettering, acid neutral pages with gilded edges, a silk page marker, raised spine bands, and silk moire end papers. The illustrations by Rafaello Busoni capture the essence and atmosphere of the story. The Red and the Black by Stendhal is a masterpiece of French literature that explores the themes of ambition, love, and betrayal in the turbulent era of the Restoration. Follow the rise and fall of Julien Sorel, a young provincial who dreams of becoming a soldier, a priest, and a lover in a society that values wealth and status over merit and passion. Witness his struggles with his own emotions, his moral dilemmas, and his encounters with the powerful and the beautiful in Paris and the provinces. Set in the early 19th century, this novel reflects the political and social changes that France underwent after the fall of Napoleon I and the return of the Bourbon monarchy. It also showcases the cultural and artistic richness of this period, as Stendhal draws inspiration from various writers, painters, musicians, and philosophers who shaped the French spirit, such as Victor Hugo, Eugène Delacroix, Ludwig van Beethoven, François-René de Chateaubriand, and Alexis de Tocqueville. This novel is not only a captivating story of romance and intrigue, but also a profound analysis of human nature and society.
