Mauprat (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161441901)

""Mauprat"" is a novel written by George Sand, a prominent French writer of the 19th century. The book tells the story of a young man named Bernard Mauprat, who is raised in a family of rough and violent men in rural France. Bernard is initially drawn to the violent ways of his family, but he begins to question their behavior when he falls in love with a refined young woman named Edm�����e. Through his relationship with Edm�����e, Bernard learns about love, honor, and the importance of treating others with kindness and respect. However, his newfound values are put to the test when he becomes embroiled in a conflict with a neighboring family, and he must decide whether to continue down the path of violence or to stand up for what is right. ""Mauprat"" is a powerful exploration of the human condition, and it offers a compelling portrait of French society during the 18th century.You live not very far from Roche-Mauprat, and must have often passed by the ruins.
