Description
He wants power. He wants love. Society gives him neither without a price.
Julien Sorel, brilliant and fiercely ambitious, rises from humble origins into a world ruled by class, hypocrisy, and political intrigue. Torn between faith and ambition, desire and pride, he navigates dangerous romances and ruthless social games—each choice pulling him closer to triumph or ruin.
Celebrated as "one of the first great psychological novels," Stendhal's masterpiece dissects vanity, hypocrisy, and the hunger for status with startling clarity. Its portrait of a young man fighting society—and himself—remains timeless and unsettlingly modern.
If you love sharp character studies, political tension, and classics that expose the cost of ambition, this novel is unforgettable.
Open the book—and witness how desire and destiny collide.
