Julien and His Problems
From Le Rouge et le Noir, by Stendhal:
"Tout l'ennui de cette vie sans intérêt que menait Julien est sans doute partagé par le lecteur. Ce sont là les landes de notre voyage."
"All the boredom of this life without interests which Julien was leading is doubtless shared by the reader. These are the barren moorlands on our journey." (Translated by C. K. Scott Moncrieff)
