《紅與黑》是法國**作家司湯達的代表作，是歐洲批判現實主義文學的奠基作。小說緊緊圍繞主人公於連個人奮鬥與*終失敗的經歷這一主線，廣泛展現了“19世紀*初30年問壓在法國人民頭上的歷屆政府所帶來的社會風氣”，反映了19世紀早期法國的政治和社會生活中的一些本質問題。在藝術上，小說以深刻細膩的筆調，廣泛運用獨白和自由聯想等多種藝術手法，充分展示了主人公的心靈空間，挖掘出了主人公深層意識的活動，從而開創了後世“意識流小說”、“心理小說”的先河，司湯達因此被後人稱為“現代小說之父”。

Julien, though stunned by the force of the blow, and allbloody, returned to his official station by the saw. He hadtears in his eyes, caused less by physical pain than by the lossof his book, which he adored. "Come down, you animal, so I can talk to you." The roarof the mechanism still prevented Julien from hearing theorder. His father, who had descended, and didn't want thebother of climbing up the machine again, went to find a longrod for knocking down walnuts and rapped him on theshoulder with it. Julien had hardly touched the ground whenold Sorel, driving him roughly in front, pushed him towardsthe house. God knows what he'll do with me! said the youngman to himself. In passing he looked sadly at the streamwhere his book had fallen; it was the one he loved the most,the Memorials of St Helena. His cheeks were heavily flushed and his eyes lowered.He was a slight young man of eighteen or nineteen, weak inappearance, with irregular but delicate features and anaquiline nose. The great dark eyes, which in more peacefulmoments proclaimed thoughtfulness and fire, were at thatmoment animated by an expression of the fiercest hatred.Dark chestnut hair worn very far down gave him a lowforehead and, when he was angry, a wicked look. Among theinnumerable varieties of human physiognomy, none,perhaps, could be marked by so striking an individuality. Agraceful, well-proportioned figure suggested more oflitheness than of strength. From his early childhood, hisexcessively pensive air and his extreme pallor had given hisfather the idea that he wouldn't live long, or that he wouldlive only to be an expense to his family. Despised by thewhole household, he hated his brothers and his father; in theSunday games on the public square he was always beaten. It was less than a year ago that his pretty face had begun to earn him some friendly feelings among the girls. Scorned by everyone as a feeble creature, Julien had worshipped the old Surgeon-major who once dared to speak to the Mayor on the subject of plane trees. Sometimes the Surgeon had paid Pere Sorel for a day of his son's time, and taught him Latin and history -- that is to say, what he knew of history, the campaign in Italy in 1796.Dying, he had left him his cross of the Legion of Honour, the arrears of his half pay and thirty or forty books, the most precious of which had just flown into that public stream,diverted through the influence of the Mayor. Julien had scarcely entered the house when he felt his shoulder grabbed back by his father's powerful hand; he trembled, expecting some blows. --Answer me without lying, shouted the hard voice of the old peasant in his ear, while his hand turned him round as a child's hand turns a lead soldier. Julien's great tear-filled eyes found themselves facing straight into the small spiteful eyes of the old carpenter, who had the air of wanting to read him to the depths of his soul. P26-27
