Book summary:
The Awakening shocked turn-of-the-century readers and reviewers with its treatment of sex and suicide. In a departure from literary convention, Kate Chopin failed to condemn her heroine's desire for an affair with the son of a Louisiana resort owner, whom she meets on vacation. The power of sensuality, the delusion of ecstatic love, and the solitude that accompanies the trappings of middle- and upper-class convention are the themes of this now-classic novel. The book was influenced by French writers ranging from Flaubert to Maupassant, and can be seen as a precursor of the impressionistic, mood-driven novels of Virginia Woolf and Djuna Barnes. Variously called "vulgar, " "unhealthily introspective, " and "morbid, " the book was neglected for several decades, not least because it was written by a "regional" woman writer. This edition also includes selected stories from Kate Chopin's Bayou Folk and A Night in Acadie, and an introduction and notes by Nina Baym. [via]

Book summary:
Au rouge des armes, Julien Sorel préfèrera le noir des ordres. Au cours de son ascension sociale, deux femmes se singularisent, comme pour figurer les deux penchants de son caractère : Madame de Rênal - le rêve, l'aspiration à un bonheur pur et simple - et Mathilde de La Mole - l'énergie, l'action brillante et fébrile. A ces composantes stendhaliennes (conception de la vie qui dépasse la stratégie narrative pour s'étendre à l'existence de l'auteur) correspondent deux facettes stylistiques : la sobriété et la restriction du champ de vision. Dans cette Chronique de 1830, bien avant l'existence du cinéma donc, Stendhal alterne les prises de vue pour concilier réalisme et romantisme. Le Rouge et le Noir, portrait social, est également un roman de l'individualité où le regard des personnages sert de philtre au narrateur et où la cristallisation stendhalienne, cette phase irisée De l'amour, trouve un formidable support dans les champs, contrechamps, plongées et contre-plongées. Cette écriture visuelle ajoute à l'analyse une intelligence psychologique profonde. Inversement, le ton dépouillé permet au romantisme d'éviter le lyrisme abusif et de demeurer ironique envers la société sclérosée de la France de la Restauration. --Sana Tang-Léopold Wauters [via]

A Major New Translation

The Red and the Black, Stendhals masterpiece, is the story of Julien Sorel, a young dreamer from the provinces, fueled by Napoleonic ideals, whose desire to make his fortune sets in motion events both mesmerizing and tragic. Sorels quest to find himself, and the doomed love he encounters along the way, are delineated with an unprecedented psychological depth and realism. At the same time, Stendhal weaves together the social life and fraught political intrigues of postNapoleonic France, bringing that world to unforgettable, full-color life. His portrait of Julien and early-nineteenth-century France remains an unsurpassed creation, one that brilliantly anticipates modern literature.

Neglected during its time, The Red and the Black has assumed its rightful place as one of the worlds great books, and Burton Raffels extraordinary new translation, coupled with an enlightening Introduction by Diane Johnson, helps it shine more brightly than ever before.
