About This Novel
"Red and Black" has outstanding achievements in the shaping of typical characters in typical environments, symmetrical artistic structure and the use of line drawing techniques. The reason why Stendhal is called "the father of modern novels" by critics is because he showed outstanding psychological description genius in "Red and Black". Realist writers all emphasize the authenticity of details, but Stendhal is different from Balzac. What he focuses on depicting is not the objective environment, but the meticulousness and verisimilitude of the inner activities of the characters. The author often explains the characters' actions and surrounding environment in a few words, while the inner activities are eloquent, sparing no effort in pen and ink, and the psychological description of love is meticulous and touching. Julien, the protagonist of the novel, is the son of a carpenter. He is young, handsome, strong-willed, shrewd and capable. He has hoped to join the upper class society through personal efforts and struggle since he was a child, and has launched a series of actions to this end...

red and black
There is such a kind of red, rich simplicity, like a magnificent queen coming from a medieval castle. Her grace and dignity are like the first day of the handover between the sea and the sky, which makes people unable to bear to play with. She is an irresistible charm. She breeds the beauty of life and infinite nobility. There is a kind of black that shines like velvet, like a king, with pure and proud royal blood, and the kingly demeanor that dominates the world. He is a kind of vigilance, a strong obsession, and an unstoppable recklessness. His aura is intimidating. There is no choice between red and black, red and black are a nightmare about life...
The young and frivolous Julien was dominated by the cynical mentality of hating the rich. He did not distinguish between right and wrong. He took advantage of the hostess's sympathy for him and actually molested the hostess for fun, so as to gain a perverse sense of conquest and the satisfaction of revenge on the rich to achieve psychological balance. This was simply a blasphemy to the hostess's kind and pure feelings. His behavior of hurting innocent and weak people in this way makes people feel unforgivable. Poor Mathilde didn't know what was going on, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. On the one hand, she loved Julien deeply without any regrets, but on the other hand, she was deeply tortured by her unfaithful husband and children. It was really a bad fate.
When reading foreign masterpieces, you must choose a good publisher!
Not much to say, the translator is a scumbag! The front part is quite distracting, but the middle and back parts feel completely perfunctory! My God, the wording is rough and blunt, the previous sentence does not follow the next sentence, the writing is scripted, and the translation is like Google. If that's the case, it's better not to turn it over. Originally, the original work was relatively deep and complex, but the translation made it more difficult to understand. Reading it was like talking in one's sleep, and finishing it was like sleepwalking. I remember my teacher said that when reading foreign masterpieces, you must choose those from the People's Literature and Art Publishing House or the Shanghai Translation Publishing House. I am sincere in saying this, and you should encourage me.
I don't know how I should digest the character of Julien. At first, I always thought that his entry into the upper class was a kind of luck. When I almost believed that luck determines life, his life hit the bottom again. But in this ups and downs of life, I saw the ugliness of the decent people in the upper class and the trace of humanity in Julien that has not yet been wiped out! ! ! I always feel that Julien's body has stepped into the door of upper class society, but his soul has been left at the door.
This is a novel with profound thoughts and twists and turns. Through the description of social class, love and power struggle, it shows the complexity of human nature and the cruel reality of society. This novel is not only a literary masterpiece, but also a careful observation and criticism of French society in the 19th century.
At first, I thought Julien was really going too far. He was selfish and took advantage of women, even though he was married. Later, I felt that he was going even further. The more I read, the more angry and indignant I became. I still remember that I spent nearly many hours criticizing this man with my deskmate, and I felt that he deserved his death. But if you think about it carefully, it's not all Julien's fault. Others are also unforgivable. It's the social atmosphere that makes people there start scheming from an early age🤚🤚
Julien, little angel! ! ! ! ! ! It's great to see you here! ! ! ! ! Teenage Career is awesome! ! ! ! ! I blew it! ! ! Awsl! ! ! ! ! !
In a chaotic and chaotic society, it is not easy to stand out, to become a normal person, and to have a normal love. From this perspective, Julien is really pitiful. But the general environment turned him into this, and he eventually died, which is sad.
The layout is not good and there are too many typos.
Can't she tell him apart? It causes great trouble for reading. There are also missing paragraphs. . .
