Il etait une fois... once upon a time, the two essential avenues for advancement for a poor youth in France were the military and the Catholic Church, symbolized by the red of the army uniforms (yes, before the machine guns of World War I made them change their pants) and the black of the clerical gowns. Stendhal, the nom de plume for Henri Beyle, had his classic work published in 1830, just as Louis-Philippe d Orleans was restored to the throne. The protagonist is Julian Sorel, of - dare I use the word - humble origin, the son of a carpenter, born in Franche-Comté, a rugged area of France that borders Switzerland. He was determined to make his way in society, and Stendhal says that Hercules was an inspiration; it was not a question of a choice between vice and virtue, rather it was one between the mediocrity of an assured well-being and all the heroic dreams of youth.
