Has no one read this book? Why are there no comments?
History has actually fulfilled these predictions more than adequately. Since the 1860s when a group of literati educated at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, headed by Taine, launched a movement to "discover" Stendhal, the situation has changed a lot. Nowadays, Stendhal has long won the important position he deserves in the history of French and even world literature; some of his masterpieces, with "The Red and the Black" as the highest representative, have long deservedly ranked among the world's literary masterpieces.
Poor translation. Many words and sentences are translated to conform to Chinese expression habits, so it is not recommended to read them.
