Reading Lamp | The Red And The Black

The army and the clergy, the revolution and the reactionary, the blood and the black robe, the passion and the death...Red and black，The collocation of two colors with opposite tones and strong contrasts，became the name of the novel by Stendhal in 1830. "Red and black", as the subtitle "chronicle of 1830", is a book describing the ambition of a civilian youth in a period of the rulers' violent alternation on the eve of the July revolution in France. The basic meaning of the classic’s name is generally considered to represent the two path of life of the protagonist of the novel: the glory of the red military career and being a priest with the black robe. In the frustrated ambition of the protagonist, his inner salvation in prison clearly indicates the realism of the author's perspective of history and his romanticism beyond history. This Friday, let's taste The Red And The Black together. Let's go into the era of conflict and approach the complex Julien. Editor: Zoe Announcer: Leo & April
