  The Red and the Black is a psychological and political novel by Stendhal that follows the ambitious rise and tragic fall of Julien Sorel, a poor young man determined to climb the ranks of French society during the Restoration era. Torn between his intellectual aspirations, romantic passions, and the social forces of church and state, Julien attempts to forge his own path through charm, manipulation, and raw determination.Stendhal paints a sharp and ironic portrait of 19th-century France, exposing the hypocrisy of its institutions and the moral contradictions of its elite. The novel blends realism with a deep psychological insight into its protagonist, making The Red and the Black not just a story of one man's ambition, but also a powerful critique of class, power, and illusion.

  History of Herodotus The - Book...

  Herodotus, George Rawlinson

  One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the "Histories" describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the "Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.
  BOOK 7: POLYMNIA: Now when tidings of the battle that had been fought at Marathon reached the ears of King Darius, the son of Hystaspes, his anger against the Athenians, which had been already roused by their attack upon Sardis, waxed still fiercer, and he became more than ever eager to lead an army against Greece.
