Acerca de este libro electrónico
Mauprat is a novel by the French novelist George Sand about love and education. It was published in serial form in April and May 1837. Like many of Sand's novels, Mauprat borrows from various fictional genres — the Gothic novel, chivalric romance, the Bildungsroman, detective fiction and the historical novel. The novel's plot has been called a plot of female socialisation, in which the hero is taught by the heroine how to live peacefully in society. Mauprat resembles the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast". As this would suggest, the novel is a romance. However, Sand resists the immediate happy ending of marriage between the two main characters in favour of a more gradual story of education, including a reappraisal of the passive female role in courtship and marriage. Sand also calls into question Rousseau's ideal version of the female education as described in his novel Emile, namely, training women for domesticity and the home. (Excerpt from Wikipedia)
Acerca del autor
George Sand, born Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin in 1804, was a trailblazing French novelist and memoirist whose life and work continue to captivate modern readers. Renowned for her prolific output and her defiance of societal norms, Sand's literary career spanned over four decades, producing more than seventy novels, numerous plays, and a wealth of correspondence.Sand's personal life was as revolutionary as her writing. She scandalized 19th-century society by adopting a male pseudonym and frequently wearing men's clothing, which allowed her greater freedom and access to intellectual circles dominated by men. Her romantic liaisons with prominent figures such as composer Frédéric Chopin and poet Alfred de Musset further fueled public fascination and controversy.A staunch advocate for social justice, Sand's works often explored themes of class struggle, gender equality, and the plight of the rural poor. Her progressive ideas resonated with contemporary writers and thinkers, influencing the likes of Gustave Flaubert and Victor Hugo. Sand's commitment to social reform extended beyond her writing; she was actively involved in the 1848 French Revolution, advocating for workers' rights and democratic principles.George Sand's legacy endures not only through her literary contributions but also through her fearless challenge to the conventions of her time. Her life and work remain a testament to the power of artistic and personal freedom, inspiring generations of writers and activists to push the boundaries of societal expectations.
