ABOUT THE AUTHOR

George Sand

George Sand, pseudónimo de Aurore Dupin, baronesa de Dudevant (1804-1876), impôs-se como um dos maiores nomes da literatura francesa, criando uma vasta obra composta por 68 romances, e ainda textos políticos, peças de teatro, memórias e livros de viagens. Aos vinte e sete anos já era o escritor mais popular da Europa, ultrapassando a notoriedade de Victor Hugo e Balzac, que muito a admiravam. Conseguiu o raríssimo feito de ser simultaneamente popular e prestigiada, e foi a primeira mulher a conseguir sustentar-se através da escrita. Henry James elogiou-lhe o talento e o «grande estilo», Dostoievski traduziu-a e homenageou-a, e a sua obra continua a ser referida nos livros de autores contemporâneos como A. S. Byatt.
