Overall an excellent near fine copy. Marie-Henri Beyle known under his pseudonym de Stendhal was born in Grenoble France in 1783 and died in Paris in 1842. Although employed at various military and government posts throughout his life his underlying passion for art and literature is expressed in his writings penned between 1812 and 1839. His peers and contemporaries included HonorÈ de Balzac Victor Hugo and George Sand. Perhaps most famous for his novel Le Rouge et le Noir 1831 his earlier essays and short works reveal his artistic and literary development. This polemic treatise signaled Stendhal's entry into the struggle between classicism and romanticism. A second essay on Racine and Shakespeare referred to as 'Shakespeare II' was published in 1825 of which is also present here.

Volume one vignette shows Julien Sorel appearing to Madame de Renal near a confessional; volume two shows Mathilde de La Mole holding the head of Julien Sorel.<br/><br/>Stendhal's surprisingly modern bildungsroman about the rise and fall of the romantic Julian Sorel who attempts to climb the rungs of French society and surpass the expectations of his modest rural upbringing. The novel is not only an exploration of Julian's own psychological and spiritual struggles but also a satire of the clergy and French society in general. "The Red and The Black like much of Stendhal's work was not appreciated in his own day. It was only after Stendhal's death that critics began to realize what a revolutionary stylist he was. He's currently credited as one of the fathers of psychological realism due to the space he devotes to his characters' inner lives. "Stendhal's mind was of the first order. he wrote his two novels which so few people have read in a spirit of fearless liberty" Joseph Conrad. Fine. A. Levavasseur unknown books
