Punaista Ja Mustaa by Stendhal
A psychologically acute historical novel follows the rise and fall of an ambitious young provincial, whose intelligence, vanity and restless desire to escape his low birth propel him into the clerical world and high society; through calculated romances, political maneuvering and bitter confrontations with the hypocrisy of post-Napoleonic French society he seeks power and recognition, but his manipulations, moral conflicts and the rigid class system lead to a dramatic, tragic downfall that exposes both his flaws and the era’s moral contradictions.
