Om forfatteren

George Sand, the nom de plume of Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin (1804–1876), was a prolific French novelist and memoirist of the 19th century. As a pioneer in literature, Sand challenged the norms of her time, shirking the traditional roles prescribed for women by choosing a male pen name, wearing men's clothing for its practicality, and engaging openly in affairs that scandalized the public. She became known not only for her bohemian lifestyle but also for her dedication to advocating for the rights of women and the working class. Sand wrote numerous novels, many of which focused on rustic life and the struggles of the poor, among which 'The Devil's Pool' ('La Mare au Diable', 1846) stands out as an idyllic pastoral novel that explores the simplicity and beauty of rural life, diverging from the era's romantic excesses. Her writing style blends realism with a profound humanism, often highlighting the complexities of relationships and individual autonomy. Contributing significantly to the literary scene of her time, Sand was friends and sometimes a collaborator with other literary giants like Gustave Flaubert and Honoré de Balzac. Her work left an indelible mark on French literature, and her legacy is one of breaking barriers and seeking justice through the written word.
