Lettres d'Italie à Musset

by George Sand

« Tes cheveux commenceront à grisonner, les miens auront achevé de blanchir ; mais la vallée de Bassano sera toujours aussi belle, la neige des Alpes aussi pure ; et notre amitié ?... »
Prisée des Romantiques, Venise se fait ici le théâtre des amours tumultueuses de deux écrivains de génie, George Sand et Alfred de Musset. Ces trois lettres disent l’amour après la rupture et l’exploration de son propre coeur.

About the author

Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin de Francueil, best known by her pen name George Sand, was a French novelist, memoirist and journalist. One of the most popular writers in Europe in her lifetime, being more renowned than either Victor Hugo or Honoré de Balzac in England in the 1830s and 1840s, Sand is recognised as one of the most notable writers of the European Romantic era. She wrote more than 50 volumes of various works to her credit, including tales, plays and political texts, alongside her 70 novels.
Like her great-grandmother, Louise Dupin, whom she admired, George Sand advocated for women's rights and passion, criticized the institution of marriage, and fought against the prejudices of a conservative society. She was considered scandalous because of her turbulent love life, her adoption of masculine clothing, and her masculine pseudonym.
