Indiana

Informationen zum Autor Sylvia Raphael has translated Balzac's Eugenie Grandet (1990) and Cousin Bette (1992) for World's Classics. Naomi Schor is a well-known expert in both Romance Languages/Literature and in European feminism. She is William Hanes Wannamaker Professor of Romance Studies and Literature at Duke University. Klappentext The first novel that George Sand wrote without a collaborator, this is not only a vivid romance, but also an impassioned plea for change in the inequitable French marriage laws of the time, and for a new view of women. It tells the story of a beautiful and innocent young woman, married at sixteen to a much older man. She falls in love with her handsome, frivolous neighbor, but discovers too late that his love is quite different from her own. This new translation, the first since 1900, does full justice to the passion and conviction of Sand's writing, and the introduction fully explores the response to Sand in her own time as well as contemporary feminist treatments. Zusammenfassung Indiana (1831) is an absorbing and vivid romantic novel, set partly in provincial France, partly in Paris, and partly on a tropical island. It tells the story of a beautiful and innocent young woman, married at sixteen to a much older man.
