Le Rouge et le Noir

Stendhal's great work « le rouge et le noir » was written in 1830.

When it went out, people did not at first understand it ; it was seen as a scandal and as uncatholic and unchristian.

Although there was a great writing style, the critics of Stendhal were very strict toward his work.

This stayed one of the most scandalous novel of the end of the 19th century in France.

I was a great novellist until the french critics went out on me to ruin me

Stendhal's real name was at first Henry Bale (see the Wikipedia page of Stendhal).
