"Red and Black" (1830) is Stendhal's most famous work, but did not make its creator famous until many years after his death. The main character, Julien Sorel, an ambitious and ambitious young man of unenviable origin, decides to study theology, because he believes that so he will make a career in the shortest possible time. And he stops at nothing to realize his plans. The first novel in European literature about career long outraged representatives of the Church around the world: the Vatican in 1864 included it in the "Index of forbidden books", Nicholas I in 1850 also imposed a ban on its publication. As is known, Stendhal took a note from a Grenoble newspaper as the basis of the plot, obviously, the fate of the protagonist was typical for that time. But even after almost two centuries little has changed. Neither in the ways of making money and becoming famous, nor in the secrets of seducing women and conducting love affairs.
