| Publisher Description: Young Julien Sorel, the son of a country timber merchant, carries a portrait of his hero Napoleon Bonaparte and dreams of military glory. A brilliant career in the Church leads him into Parisian high society, where, "mounted upon the finest horse in Alsace," he gains high military office and wins the heart of the aristocratic Madamoiselle Mathilde de la Mole. Julien's cunning and ambition lead him into all sorts of scrapes, but it is the struggle between his passion for two beautiful women--the quixotic Mathilde and the loyal Madame de R nal--which ultimately decides his destiny. |
