Rouge Et Le Noir

Rouge et le noir

by Stendhal

« Le Rouge et le Noir » est un roman réaliste de Stendhal qui explore les ambitions et les désillusions d'un jeune homme ambitieux, Julien Sorel, dans la France de la Restauration. Sorel, fils d'un bûcheron, aspire à une vie meilleure et à un statut social supérieur. Il gravit les échelons sociaux en utilisant son intelligence et son charme, mais ses ambitions sont constamment freinées par les préjugés de la société et par ses propres démons intérieurs. Le roman suit Sorel dans ses diverses tentatives d'ascension sociale, notamment dans ses rôles de précepteur et de militaire. Il explore les thèmes de l'amour, de la religion, de la politique et de la nature humaine. La relation complexe de Sorel avec les femmes, notamment avec Mathilde de la Mole et Madame de Rênal, est un élément central de l'intrigue. Le roman est considéré comme un chef-d'œuvre de la littérature française pour son analyse pénétrante de la société, de ses structures sociales et de ses contradictions.
