The red and the black: narrador encantador, protagonista odioso

The red and The black - Stendhal

calificación: 3/5   ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆

Género: clásico

Opinión y chisme: 👇👇👇

De todos los clásicos siempre espero algo anticuado pero con una fascinante crítica social, mucho contenido histórico, y algo de complejidad y/o algo pomposo en la prosa, Stendhal cumple con todo, y me ha parecido encantador y magnifico que, como narrador, se comunique directamente con el lector en ocasiones, siendo muy franco y aligerando bastante el tono denso de la historia, muy cordial el amigo Stendhal 🫶.

La historia tiene un alto contenido político, algo pesadito pero necesario para entender ese ambiente tenso y la corrupción de la nobleza y clero en esa Francia provinciana luego de la muerte de Napoleón (lástima que la trama no se centrase más en las conspiraciones y otros acontecimientos relacionados); Y el romance (que se siente nada romántico) es tan melodramático y atrapante, el chismesito que se arma es jugosamente escandaloso 👀✨.

Ahora, sobre los personajes ufff.. esto es por lo que he sufrido a lo largo de la lectura 😮‍💨,

si bien la profundidad psicológica de cada uno es interesante de analizar y para criticar, y que por más que Stendhal pida comprensión al lector para no juzgar con severidad las acciones de sus personajes, el protagonista me han parecido demasiado ridículo, y me causa mucho ruido que Julien, siendo el héroe, no haya demostrado ese encanto que tanto comenta el autor, podemos ver su lado inteligente, hipócrita, reflexivo, angustioso, arrogante, impulsivo, hasta el lado "romántico", pero su lado carismático queda muy fuera de escena; Y, aunque suene chistoso, esto hace ver a Stendhal como un padre buena persona que se la pasa defendiendo a un hijo odioso 😬.

Y eso que el resto de personajes, que son peores, han tenido una mejor construcción a mi parecer, hasta el más secundario.

Aunque esto afectó mucho a mi lectura, ese mismo absurdo hizo que no quisiese abandonar el libro, fue hasta algo morboso querer averiguar cómo es que este personaje se iba zafando de problemas y metiendo en otros, el chisme realmente alentó mi perseverancia jaja.

En fin, es un libro con un exquisito contenido histórico, muchos detalles para debatir, todo un reto clásico, sí, pero no fue intimidante como imaginé, y he disfrutado mucho leyéndolo y reaccionando, en ese sentido, valido la pena, además, Stendhal realmente me ha caído muy bien, definitivamente quiero leer más de sus obras 😌.

Por cierto, aquí un meme que tiene sentido 🤭:

“When you compare the sorrows of real life to the pleasures of the imaginary one, you will never want to live again, only to dream forever”. Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo My current read is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.⛵️��� There are so many great quotes from this book it is hard to choose just one. Full of adventure and revenge, this is a fantastic book! The serial format also makes this book very easy to read. The colors on the cover of the Signet edition reminded me of the Mountain Lion quilt that we have in our Etsy shop!

The saga continues, with lemon muffins and cappuccino encouragement! I’m super excited to get further than ever before in this book! The slow pace of a chapter a day has me learning a lot about the steady nature of progress, and that I don’t have to race through the world at the pace of others. #whiskeyandperserverance #whiskyandperseverance #warandpeace2023 #warandpeace #tolstoy #chunkybooks #russianliterature #russianlit #classicbookstagram #classicliterature #chapteraday #slowandsteady https://www.instagram.com/p/CoRU4DkLjRn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fun pic of the #Starswept trilogy by @kricklereadsbooks! 💫 Posted @withrepost • @kricklereadsbooks ✨📚Book Challenge Spotlight✨ Book challenge: bear claw, Turkey leg, old lady - musical instrument Book: Star swept Author: @astralcolt Book Synopsis: Some melodies reach across the stars. In 2157, the Adryil—an advanced race of telepathic humanoids—contacted Earth. A century later, 15-year-old violist Iris Lei considers herself lucky to attend Papilio, a prestigious performing arts school powered by their technology. Born penniless, Iris’s one shot at a better life is to attract an Adryil patron. But only the best get hired, and competition is fierce. A sudden encounter with an Adryil boy upends her world. Iris longs to learn about him and his faraway realm, but after the authorities arrest him for trespassing, the only evidence she has of his existence is the mysterious alien device he slipped to her. When she starts hearing his voice in her head, she wonders if her world of backstabbing artists and pressure for perfection is driving her insane. Then, she discovers that her visions of him are real—by way of telepathy—and soon finds herself lost in the kind of impossible love she depicts in her music. But even as their bond deepens, Iris realizes that he’s hiding something from her—and it’s dangerous. Her quest for answers leads her past her sheltered world to a strange planet lightyears away, where she uncovers secrets about Earth’s alien allies that shatter everything she knows.

Give your hearts but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together; For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow. ~ The Prophet, Khalil Gibran This book took Gibran more than eleven years to be perfected. It is his best-known work. And when I read every verse of every page, I know why. #poetrybooks #classicliterature #classics #classicbooks #classicbookstagram #poetryisart #poetrybookshelf #poetryofinsta #deeplines #thoughtfulness #wordporn #bookstoread #booknerdigan #bookobsessed #bookstagram #bookstagramindia #bookstagrammers #bookcommunity #bookishthoughts #lovebooks #lovepoetry❤️ #lovelife #lifeisstrange #booksofinstagram #moodquotes #rainyseason #readingmood #fictionbooks #marriagequotes #booksforlife (at India : इंडिया) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR3xw5qgR6d/?utm_medium=tumblr

“All these, however, were mere terrors of the night, phantoms of the mind that walk in darkness;” The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Washington Irving 23rd June 1819, first publication of “The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent." by American author, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat Washington Irving. The collected stories written under the pseudonym Geoffrey Crayon, contained the first appearance of his now famous stories, `”Rip Van Winkle", and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". The work was among the first widely read works of American literature, both in the United States, Britain. The stories were written during Irvine’s residency in England and around Europe from 1815 to 1832. While in England, Irvine met Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein. They both shared the friendship of the American actor John Howard Payne, who offered his hand in marriage to Mary in 1826, but she refused. Payne then tried to persuade Irvine to propose to her, although there is no evidence whether this proposal took place. Mary never married after the drowning of her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley despite numerous proposals, and so it is likely that Irvine’s proposal would have also been rejected. The story of the ‘Legend of Sleepy Hollow’, originated in 1798, during an outbreak of yellow fever in Manhattan, where his family sent him to Tarrytown, New York. It was in Tarrytown he became familiar with the nearby town of Sleepy Hollow, with its Dutch customs and local ghost stories. Art shown is original and inspired by the story, it can be found on the website: www.ofgraveconern.com You are invited to follow @ofgrave.concern for more gothic tales #gothicliterature #gothicfiction #classicliterature #halloween #halloweenfiction #washingtonirving #thelegendofsleepyhollow #sleepyhollow #ichabodcrane #headlesshorseman #maryshelley #maryshelleysfrankenstein #ripvanwinkle #classiclit #classiclitmemes #gothictales #literaturelover #classicbooks #classicbookstagram #tarrytown #yellowfever #regencygothic #gothicstories #percyshelley #percybyssheshelley #sleepyhollowcemetery #sleepyhollowart #gothiccandles #darkart #darkartists https://www.instagram.com/p/CQjMGJxHvbk/?utm_medium=tumblr

“My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people do not know.” Arthur Conan Doyle

Today’s @owlcrate @octhenest @words.and.whimsy Good Vibrations photo challenge is Hotel California:

A book with a cult like following. Some say Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes was the beginning of the first fandom, going as far as reviving Sherlock from his watery grave. Sherlock Holmes still captures the imagination, and it is a lot of fun to read about him in all his renditions. 📖🔍

What is your favorite version of Sherlock Holmes?

This book is pictured on the Sherlock Holmes inspired Houndstooth quilt we made, that now resides in our guest room! 🐾

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library. - Caroline Bingley-Pride and Prejudice #qotd💭 What is your favorite book quote? I know that Caroline Bingley was only saying this in the book because she wanted Mr. Darcy, and she really didn’t care for reading, but.... I’m pretty sure I’ve said these same words before, and it wasn’t to get a guy. 🤷‍♀️ #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #classicbooks #classicbookstagram #classicbookquotes #bibliophile #bibliophilelife #janeaustenbooks #janeaustenquote #janeaustenfan #prideandprejudice #thebookwasbetter #butcolinfirththough #readmorewatchless #booksarefun #readingaddict #readingaddiction #goodreadschallenge2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDCHsvLg_uS/?igshid=yytc5c9ea9vb
