Red and Black is a novel by Stendhal (1783-1842), published in mid-November 1830. The plot unfolds in France in the late 1820s, and is articulated around a young man's ambitions to rise about the poverty of his birth. The title of the book could refer to the colors of the uniforms of the army (red) and of the priests (black). The work is judged as one of the best in the French narrative, an example of a psychological novel; it influenced many writers of realism, in particular Leon Tolstoy, and already in the 20th century André Gide.
Red and Black stars Julien Sorel, the son of a carpenter from the fictional town of Verrières. He narrates Julien's efforts to become a high society person despite his youth, telling others what they want to hear and doing what they want to see him do. The word "hypocrisy" is repeated in this context and although the meaning of this term was more limited in 19th century France than it is today (it specifically referred to the affectation of the highest religious sentiments, like any 19th century dictionary it bears witness) can be understood as the key word in a novel where the characters' locutions and their most intimate thoughts are, in many cases, in contradiction
