O ovoj e-knjizi
Urbain, the Marquis de Villemer is the younger brother of Duke d'Aleria, and is eager to clear his family's debt to ensure his mother's happiness. The siblings have drastically different views on the purpose of money and marriage. A marchioness is eager to marry off her two sons: Duke d'Aleria and Urbain, the Marquis de Villemer. The former is the eldest, a charming playboy whose gambling addiction has saddled the family with debt. Urbain is the younger, more responsible son, who's willing to sacrifice his happiness for his mother's security. The men interact with several women, including Caroline, a secretary and companion to their mother. She is pulled into a strange world that hinges on marriage arrangements and social capital. The Marquis de Villemer is a nineteenth century novel that embodies popular elements of that time. It's fueled by class disparity, mismatched romance and financial strain. It also highlights family legacy and the desire to keep up appearances. (Google)
O autoru
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.
