The themes of the borough, the novel is the social ascent of Julien Sorel, the main theme of all these events, the French history of 1800 and the falsity that characterizes the relationship humans. The text is very rich descriptions of the plot particolareggiate.Nonostante I liked it very much, for the presence of many sequences descriptive, often very long, the pace of the novel I was quite heavy and slow as a whole.
