Об электронной книге
A noblewoman travels from colonial Africa to revolutionary France in search of love in this nineteenth-century romantic classic.
On the Île Bourbon off the coast of Madagascar, Indiana is miserable in her marriage to the cold Colonel Delmare. Although she has a friendly companion in the ever-present Englishman Sir Ralph, she yearns to feel passion and desire.
When she catches the interest of the handsome young Raymon de Ramiere, Indiana is willing to take any risk, including running away to France as the July Revolution rages in Paris. But after she falls ill, she will begin a transformation that could bring about her happiness—or her downfall.
The first novel Amantine Aurore Dupin published under the pseudonym George Sand, Indiana was an auspicious debut from one of the most fascinating and daring women of the early nineteenth century, a rebellious artist who defied societal expectations and went on to become one of the major names in French literature.

Об авторе
Born Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin, George Sand (1804–1876) was a French romantic novelist and memoirist. She was raised in the countryside, and her appreciation for it influenced her work. In 1831, following a divorce, Sand moved to Paris where she wrote articles for the newspaper Le Figaro. She then adopted the pseudonym George Sand, subsequently releasing her novel Indiana, which rejected the notions of the time that a woman must be subservient to her husband—and brought Sand immediate fame. She followed this with two other novels, Lélia and Valentine, which encompassed the same themes. Sand soon became notable for her numerous affairs with artists, including Alfred de Musset and Frédéric Chopin. She found her niche and passion in rustic novels, which she continued to write until her death.
