Kızıl İle Kara

Stendhal's masterpiece, The Red and the Black, published in 1830, is one of the most important novels of world literature.

This work, subtitled "A 19th Century Chronicle", created Julien Sorel, one of the immortal characters of literature, between the sectarian conflicts in Restoration period France and the contradictions between Paris-countryside and nobility-bourgeoisie. The energy symbolized in the personality of this hot and ambitious young man is the energy of the individual who wants to rise in the career ladder with his talent, the energy of the countryside that conquered Paris, and the energy of the poor classes that took their place on the world stage.

The path that Sorel, who has difficulty choosing between red, the color of the army and war, and black, the color of religious education, is dragged by both the Napoleon admiration he has to hide and his forbidden love, is the price that all conformist societies impose on destruction and defeatism.

Red and Black, which is considered one of the successful psychological novels with its deep analyzes of the psychological structures, contradictions and depressions of its characters, has become one of the unforgettable examples of realistic literature with the social picture it draws and of romanticism with its characters.
