This is one of George Sand's late great rural novels, dealing with life among the provincial poor, where customs were already changing when she wrote it. Sand does meticulously describe the region down to the tiniest villages, forests, ponds, etc., Brulette is a pretty peasant girl loved by several young men in the area. Her cousin Etienne reluctantly accepts that she has no romantic feelings for him. Lifelong friend Josèph also loves Brulette, but feels unworthy of her. (Goodreads)

作者简介

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.
