Sinopse

🎭 What happens when pride, politics, and passion collide in a young man's quest for greatness?

The Red and the Black is a gripping psychological novel by Stendhal, following Julien Sorel, a brilliant but conflicted youth from provincial France. Determined to rise in society through intellect and charm, Julien becomes entangled in love affairs, betrayal, and political manipulation—testing the limits of his ambition and morality 💔⚖️.

Set during the Bourbon Restoration, this classic offers an unflinching look at class, hypocrisy, and personal identity, while capturing the emotional complexity of a man divided between the church (black) and the military (red).

This beautifully formatted edition includes historical notes, annotations, and period illustrations—ideal for students, book clubs, and lovers of European classics 📚.

"A penetrating portrait of romantic rebellion and class ambition." — The Guardian
"One of the greatest novels of the 19th century." — The New York Review of Books

The Upanishads represent the loftiest heights of ancient Indo-Aryan thought and culture. They form the wisdom portion or Gnana-Kanda of the Vedas, as contrasted with the Karma-Kanda or sacrificial portion. In each of the four great Vedas known as Rik, Yajur, Sama and Atharva there is a large portion which deals predominantly with rituals and ceremonials, and which has for its aim to show man how by the path of right action he may prepare himself for higher attainment. Following this in each Veda is another portion called the Upanishad, which deals wholly with the essentials of philosophic discrimination and ultimate spiritual vision. For this reason the Upanishads are known as the Vedanta, that is, the end or final goal of wisdom (Veda, wisdom; anta, end).
