First edition

STENDHAL Le rouge et le noir

STENDHAL

Le rouge et le noir

A. Levavasseur, Paris 1831, 13,5x21,3cm, 2 volumes reliés.


The first edition, “very rare and extremely sought-after” (Clouzot). One of 750 copies, title vignettes by Henry Monnier.
 
Romantic pastiche binding of half pink calf over marbled boards with small corners, the spine with four delicate crimped raised bands (very lightly sunned) with gilt filets and blindstamped typographic motifs, gilt garlands at head and foot, marbled endpapers. 
 
Le Rouge et le Noir, begun during the Restoration, was only completed four months after the Revolution of July 1830 and did not appear until the final weeks of that year. While all the critics at the time praised the exceptional qualities of the novel, even the most laudatory were shocked by its lively critique of society and of the Jacobinism of Julien Sorel.
A superb copy of the first edition, complete with publisher's advertisement leaf, of this great classic of French literature. A broad-margined copy (126 x 210 mm) in an attractive Romantic pastiche binding.
