Le Rouge et le Noir
En s'inspirant d'un fait divers tragique, Stendhal a écrit un roman culte qui marie chronique sociale et aventures amoureuses dans la société figée et mélancolique de la Restauration. Tranchant sur cette France où les idéaux des périodes révolutionnaire et napoléonienne n'ont plus cours, Julien Sorel apparaît comme la figure éternelle du héros porté par ses rêves d'ambition, ses désirs d'absolu et sa noblesse de coeur. Sa défaite inscrira son destin dans celui de toute une « génération perdue ».

Stendhal
Marie-Henri Beyle (French: [maʁi ɑ̃ʁi bɛl]; 23 January 1783 – 23 March 1842), better known by his pen name Stendhal (UK: , US: , French: [stɛ̃dal, stɑ̃dal]), was a French writer. Best known for the novels Le Rouge et le Noir (The Red and the Black, 1830) and La Chartreuse de Parme (The Charterhouse of Parma, 1839), he is highly regarded for the acute analysis of his characters' psychology and considered one of the early and foremost practitioners of realism. Stendhal proclaimed himself an egotist; the neologism for the same characteristic in his characters was "Beylism".
Stendhal is also known for De l'amour, his work on "passionate love" in which the concept of "crystallization" was invented. The book was mostly ignored after publishing, but has been lauded posthumously as one of the first "modern" attempts at understanding love. Sharon Brehm, a president of the American Psychological Association, has called Stendhal "a first-rate psychologist before the official term was coined".
