''[[The Red and theThe Black]]'' is a famous novel of the French author [[Stendhal]], dealing with the society of France in the 19th century.
 
Julien Sorel is a young dreamer, preferring to read his books and daydream about Napoleon than to do something useful for his family. He becomes an acolyte and then obtains a job as a tutor in the prestigious house of Monsieur de Rênal, mayor of Verrières. However, he pays less attention to [[The Bible]] than to the mayor’s wife.
