interventions: The Red and the Black
The Red and the Black, by Stendhal
(The Schism)
A young man is determined to rise above his humble provincial origins. Soon realizing that success can only be achieved by adopting the subtle code of hypocrisy, riddled with corruption, greed and ennui by which society operates, he begins to achieve advancement through deceit and self-interest. His triumphant career takes him into a higher echelon of society where he commits an unexpected, devastating crime—and brings about his own downfall.
