The Red and the Black - Audiobook

The Red and the Black is a psychological and political novel by Stendhal that follows the ambitious rise and tragic fall of Julien Sorel, a poor young man determined to climb the ranks of French society during the Restoration era. Torn between his intellectual aspirations, romantic passions, and the social forces of church and state, Julien attempts to forge his own path through charm, manipulation, and raw determination.

Stendhal paints a sharp and ironic portrait of 19th-century France, exposing the hypocrisy of its institutions and the moral contradictions of its elite. The novel blends realism with a deep psychological insight into its protagonist, making The Red and the Black not just a story of one man's ambition, but also a powerful critique of class, power, and illusion.
