Stendhal [Henri Beyle]; Charles, Joan Stendhal's The Red and the Black [Le Rouge et Le Noir] Garden City, New York, USA The Literary Guild of America 1949 Hard Cover Fine No Jacket Frede Vidar ILLUSTRATED New translation from the French by Joan Charles "Le Rouge et le Noir (The Red and the Black), 1830, by Stendhal, is a historical psychological novel in two volumes, chronicling a provincial young man’s attempts to socially rise beyond his plebeian upbringing with a combination of talent and hard work, deception and hypocrisy, yet who ultimately allows his passions to betray him. In literature, it is widely considered the first realist novel. The novel’s composite full title, Le Rouge et le Noir, Chronique du XIXe siécle (The Red and the Black: A Chronicle of the 19th Century), indicates its two-fold literary purpose, a psychological portrait of the romantic protagonist, Julien Sorel, and an analytic, sociological satire of the French social order under the Bourbon Restoration (1814-30)."

Stendhal [Henri Beyle] The Charterhouse of Parma MODERN LIBRARY # 150 New York The Modern Library 1937 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good No Jacket FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION 1937 STATED. MODERN LIBRARY # 150 The Modern Library of the World's Best Books With A Study of M. Beyle by Honore De Balzac. Translated by C. K. Scott Moncrieff. "The Charterhouse of Parma tells the story of the young Italian nobleman Fabrice del Dongo and his adventures from his birth in 1798 to his death. Fabrice’s early years are spent in his family’s castle on Lake Como, while most of the novel is set in a fictionalized Parma (both in modern-day Italy)....While in some respects it is a 'romantic thriller', interwoven with intrigue and adventures, the novel is also an exploration of human nature and psychology and court politics. The novel is cited as an early example of realism, a stark contrast to the Romantic style popular while Stendhal was writing. It is considered by many authors to be a truly seminal work; Honoré de Balzac considered it the most significant novel of his time, Tolstoy was heavily influenced by Stendhal's treatment of the Battle of Waterloo and his own version of the Battle of Borodino is a central part of his novel War and Peace."
