Autor

Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin de Francueil, known by her pen name George Sand, was a French novelist, memoirist, and journalist, widely celebrated for her contributions to European Romantic literature. Born in Paris in 1804, she became one of the most prominent and influential writers of her time, surpassing even Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac in fame in England during the 1830s and 1840s. Sand's works explored a variety of genres, including novels, plays, and essays, and she became known for her exploration of social and political issues, particularly those concerning women, relationships, and the lower classes. Throughout her life, she was a pioneering figure in the literary world, often challenging societal conventions, including her unconventional personal life and her advocacy for women's independence. She was married to Casimir Dudevant from 1822 to 1835, and she had two children, Maurice and Solange. Sand's enduring legacy includes her ability to blend passionate, idealistic themes with a profound sense of realism. She passed away in 1876 at the age of 71 in Nohant-Vic, France, leaving behind a rich literary heritage that continues to influence writers and readers alike.
