Indiana

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 atsixteen 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 fullyexplores the response to Sand in her own time as well as contemporary feminist treatments.Sand, George is the author of 'Indiana' with ISBN 9780915864577 and ISBN 0915864576.
