Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Les Dames Vertes
Aurore dupin, who was to become so famous under the nom de plume of George Sand,1 was the great granddaughter of the Mar�chal de Saxe. She was born in 1804, and until the age of thirteen was brought up by her grandmother at her ch�teau of Nohant, in the department of Indre. She then spent three years in the Couvent des Dames anglaises at Paris, where she felt very keenly the loss of the freedom she had hitherto enjoyed in her beloved Berry. In 1820 she returned to Nohant, and having thus regained her liberty, spent most of her time in promiscuous reading. Philosophy seems to have attracted her no less than poetry, and she was an enthusiastic admirer of jean - Jacques Rousseau as well as of Byron. Two years later she was married to Baron Dudevant, whose cold, harsh nature and overbearing ways soon made her very unhappy, and from whom she separated in 1831, though it was not until 1836 that she obtained a judicial separation with the care of her two children, a son and a daughter.
