Born in 1804--at a time when women were deprived of their civil rights (along with minors, criminals, and the insane)--Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin grew up to defy those norms, both in her life and her writing. Adopting the gender-neutral pen name George Sand, and in a career lasting over forty years as a novelist and playwright, she is best remembered today for the affairs and friendships she enjoyed with men: the composer Chopin; the painter Delacroix; the novelist Balzac. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But this moving biographical portrait, written by award-winner S騅erine Vidal and illustrated by Kim Consigny, restores her to the center stage she always commanded in her lifetime. Not just as the daring, scandalously cross-dressing, bisexual, cigarette-smoking divorc馥 novelist, but as the brilliant chronicler of her changing time--and therefore of ours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e S騅erine Vidal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1914224205\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914224201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Selfmadehero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"S騅erine Vidal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44860281946367,"sku":"9781914224201","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_597c4c32-3be3-49c7-a09d-ff40d7484f88.jpg?v=1709135764","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/george-sand-sverine-vidal-9781914224201","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
