Autorenporträt
George Sand, born Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, was a prolific and revolutionary French novelist of the 19th century, widely celebrated for her groundbreaking exploration of gender, societal norms, and class struggle. She broke barriers not only with her provocative works, but also through her audacious choice to publish under a male pseudonym at a time when women writers faced severe discrimination. Among her most notable works are "Indiana", "Lélia", and "Consuelo", all of which remain cherished classics of French literature. Sand's vast body of work and her impactful role in questioning and transforming the literary conventions of her time firmly establish her as a significant figure in the world of literature. Her extraordinary talent for storytelling, combined with her penchant for intricate character development and evocative descriptions, have cemented her legacy as one of the greatest writers of her era.
