About the author

George Sand

2,889 books925 followers
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.

george sand hat dieses drama/dialogroman 1839 geschrieben. das drama liest sich wie ein frühwerk von virginia wolf: gabriel, der sohn des fürsten, wird fern ab der gesellschaft zum mann erzogen, damit er eines tages das erbe antritt. doch: gabriel wurde als frau geboren. so entspannt sich ein spannender wechsel damit dem schauspiel der geschlechter. mich hat der stoff sehr angesprochen und viele passagen könnten aus einem aktuellen genderstudies-werk stammen. am ende ging es mir dann doch zu viel um heteroliebe, aber das ist zu verzeihen. eine autorin jedenfalls von der ich noch mehr lesen möchte
