About the author

Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin de Francueil, best known by her pen name George Sand, was a French novelist, memoirist and journalist. One of the most popular writers in Europe in her lifetime, being more renowned than either Victor Hugo or Honoré de Balzac in England in the 1830s and 1840s, Sand is recognised as one of the most notable writers of the European Romantic era. She wrote more than 50 volumes of various works to her credit, including tales, plays and political texts, alongside her 70 novels.
Like her great-grandmother, Louise Dupin, whom she admired, George Sand advocated for women's rights and passion, criticized the institution of marriage, and fought against the prejudices of a conservative society. She was considered scandalous because of her turbulent love life, her adoption of masculine clothing, and her masculine pseudonym.

Reviews

[Katarzyna Bartoszynska]

3.5 stars. It seems like a fairly simple affair, but when you start poking at it and asking yourself, "what was she trying to do with this one?" it becomes a little more interesting. Oscar Wilde cites it as one example to support his claim that Sand "invented art literature" -- but it's hard to say how crucial art really is to the story (and an interesting question). All in all, not a must-read.

George Sand a écrit de superbe roman... celui la n’a pas d’autre but que de nous montrer une petite photo de la culture Venicienne. Je suis déçue.
