Literary

From man to man

Schreiner, Olive

The first novel that George Sand wrote without a collaborator, this is not only a vivid romance, but also an impassioned plea for change in the inequitable French marriage laws of the time, and for a new view of women. It tells the story of a beautiful and innocent young woman, married at sixteen to a much older man. She falls in love with her handsome, frivolous neighbor, but discovers too late that his love is quite different from her own. This new translation, the first since 1900, does full justice to the passion and conviction of Sand's writing, and the introduction fully explores the response to Sand in her own time as well as contemporary feminist treatments.

George Sand, écrivain française, est le pseudonyme d'Amantine Aurore Lucile Dupin (1804- 1876), plus tard baronne Dudevant. Elle écrivit des romans, des nouvelles, des contes, des pièces de théâtre, une autobiographie, des critiques littéraires et des textes politiques. Elle est née à Paris, mais a passé la plus grande partie de son enfance à Nohant dans l'Indre. En 1831 paraut son premier roman Rose et Blanche qu'elle a écrit en collaboration avec Jules Sandeau, de qui elle s'inspire pour son pseudonyme Sand. Dans ses premiers romans, autobiographies transposées, elle assimile la quête du bonheur personnel à une régénération sociale. Autres oeuvres comprennent: Indiana (qu'elle signe pour la première fois du pseudonyme de George Sand, 1832), Lélia (1833) et Elle et Lui (1859).
