George Sand, the bold pen name of Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin (1804-1876), is renowned for defying the societal norms expected of women in 19th-century France, as well as for her passionate affairs, including a significant relationship with Frederic Chopin. In The Devil’s Pool, originally published in 1846 as La Mare au Diable, Sand weaves a captivating tale inspired by her own childhood in the picturesque rural region of Berri. The story follows Germain, a young widower compelled by his father-in-law to seek a new wife to help care for his three small children. Join us as we explore themes of love, family, and the quest for happiness amidst societal expectations. (Summary by J. M. Smallheer) Une version française est disponible La mare au diable.Copyright Culture and Heritage classics Arte Scienze sociali Storia e critica della letteratura
