Les grands Classiques de la littérature en bande dessinée #25

Part of Le Monde's prestigious "Grands Classiques de la littérature en bande dessinée" series published by Glénat, this 2017 volume brings Stendhal's Le Rouge et le Noir to life in comics form. The cover sets an elegant Restoration-era scene: a poised young man in period dress stands at the center, flanked by a distinguished older gentleman and a graceful young woman in a green gown, with a portrait of Napoleon visible on the wall behind them — quietly signaling the novel's tensions between ambition, society, and power. It's a handsome entry point for readers eager to experience one of French literature's great psychological novels through the bande dessinée medium.
