Pauline, suivi de Lavinia, suivi de La marquise

Rate this book
"Pauline était vêtue de brun avec une petite collerette d'un blanc scrupuleux et d'une égalité de plis vraiment monastique. Ses beaux cheveux châtains étaient lissés sur ses tempes avec un soin affecté ; elle se livrait à un ouvrage classique, ennuyeux, odieux à toute organisation pensante : elle faisait de très petits points réguliers avec une aiguille imperceptible sur un morceau de batiste dont elle comptait la trame fil à fil. La vie de la grande moitié des femmes se consume, en France, à cette solennelle occupation."

About the author

George Sand

2,866 books915 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.

El libro tiene unos personajes femeninos que me gustaron mucho, incluso las historias, pero cuando lo inicie me costó, se me hizo un poco lento aunque ya para la mitad no podía parar y me gustaba mucho.
