world book service Julien Sorel, a handsome and aspirational man, is determined to overcome his lowly provincial upbringing. He soon realises that the only way to succeed is to follow the sophisticated code of hypocrisy that governs society, so he starts to progress by lying and self-interest. The Red and the Black is an entertaining, satirical portrayal of corrupt, rapacious, and depressing post-Waterloo French society.
