Book Review for "Scarlet and Black" "Scarlet and Black" is a psychological novel. The author is Stendhal, he is a French. "Scarlet and Black" is one of his famous books. The main character is the son of a carpenter who called Julien. He is very clever and ambitious. When he teachers the local mayor's sons in their home, he loves with the mayor's wife Louis de Renal. However, sometimes ago, the matter is brought to light, he leaves mayor's home and goes into Seminary. After that, the director of the Seminary asks him to be Larmor Marquis's secretary. Marquis likes him very much and trusts him, but he loves with Marquis's daughter. At last, the mayor's wife writes a letter to show all the bad things that Julien did. My favorite part of the book is Julien loves with Marquis's daughter. I dislike the person who is like Julien. At first, I think Julien maybe really loves the mayor's wife, but when he does the same thing with Marquis's daughter. Although he is clever, he is so mean. I would recommend this book because this book tells a unique story. But I don not think everyone can understand what things that the book really wants to show us. Many people say there is no psychological novel can better than "Scarlet and Black".
