15351George Sand pseudonym of Amandine Aurore Dupin Baronne Dudevant was a prolific writer and early feminist. 2 page Autograph Letter Signed in French dated 4 June 1863. No place. To close friend and politician Emile de Girardin.<br/><br/>Both Sand and the recipient of her letter Emile de Girardin were politically progressive siding with the working class and poor and advocating for women's rights. Sand was an ardent supporter of the 1848 Revolution in which both Sand and Girardin held positions as members of government. However she was appalled by the violence of the Paris Commune and openly criticized it. The famed French feminist author sends Girardin her article and praises his role in "the liberty and progress" that has transpired following the Parisian elections. Reflecting on the "laws of repression" she notes that the people who resist progress are "generally unbecoming and loose imbeciles." A fascinating letter documenting Sand's honest views on human progress and the hurdles that need to be overcome in attaining it. Letter is in very good condition with blue ink clear and dark save for some of Sand's original smudges typical of her hasty pen. Light streak across left of front page. A political and inspiring letter from the early feminist author. unknown books

Each volume housed in a marbled board slipcase and the five volumes housed together in two quarter blue morocco clamshell cases.<br/><br/>Le Piccinino is the tale of a bewitching Sicilian princess whose beauty inflames the desires of everyone she encounters whether artist noble commoner or bandit.<br/><br/>"The Piccinino is a novel of fantasy" writes George Sand in her preamble "which has no claim to paint a precise historical epoch nor to accurately describe a country. It is a study of color dreamed rather than felt and where only a few features have been found just as by chance. The scene of this novel could be placed everywhere else under the sky of the south of Europe .". A story full of fascinating family secrets from one end to the other.<br/><br/>Astonishingly only one the present copy in 1989 of this novel featuring "piracy banditry and disorder" has come to auction within the last fifty years.<br/><br/>"Nothing could be more charming than her tales of mystery intrigue and adventure.Le Piccinino et al - these things have all the spontaneous inventiveness of the romances of Alexander Dumas his open-air quality his pleasure in a story for a story's sake." Henry James Literary Criticism: French Writers p. 730.<br/><br/>On April 16 1847 Chopin wrote to his family: "her new romance entitled thus far Piccinino which means: little. The action takes place on Sicily. Many lovely things; I do not doubt that it will be more to Ludwika's liking than Sand's Lucretia which also aroused less enthusiasm among others here.A great deal of naturalness of poetry I remember what a pleasure it was to listen to her reading it" Fryderyk Chopin—Calendary.<br/><br/>George Sand pen name of Amandine Lucie Aurore Dupin Baronne Dudevant 1804-1876 "was as famous for her ‘unfeminine' independence her habit of wearing men's clothes and her love affairs with such prominent artistic figures as Alfred de Musset and Frédéric Chopin as for her writings. In 1831 she left her husband Baron Dudevant. Her work is usually divided into three distinct periods the first of which intensely romantic corresponds to her affair with Musset. The novels of this period plead the right of free love for both men and women and include such works as Indiana 1832 Lélia 1833 and Valentine 1832. During the next decade George Sand became interested in various humanitarian reform movements and published such works as Consuelo 1842 and Le Meunier d'Angibault 1845. Her last group of novels sentimental studies of nature and of rustic manners includes La Mare au diable 1846 Le Piccinino 1847 La Petite Fadette 1848 and François le Champi 1850" Benét's Reader's Encyclopedia.<br/><br/>Vicaire VII col. 231.

6953The autograph manuscript of one of Sand's earliest novellas. It contains nearly 300 ink deletions and corrections and vividly reveals the author's writing process. Cora appeared in print for the first time on 9 February 1833 in the fifth volume of the collection of tales Le Salmigondis. Sand 1804-76 wrote it shortly after her split with the novelist Jules Sandeau 1811-83. Sand's works from 1832 to 1834 are particularly revealing concerning her turbulent personal life and her total adoption of the bohemian and androgynous persona of "George Sand" for which she applied and received a permission de travestissement. Her early novellas served as insightful experiments while she developed the Romantic genre for which she is most famous. Composed in the first person this feminist novella caricatures provincial customs of the time especially with regards to the often tragic fate of women as a result of their romantic relationships and strict social conventions. Sand's preoccupation with sympathetically depicting female figures pervades the story. As in many of her works the main characters are lower class. The protagonist Georges a young official in an unnamed small town has returned from l'île Bourbon now known as Réunion and at a ball falls in love with Cora the daughter of a grocer. Their relationship never progresses past the "immaterial and magical" as she marries a trainee pharmacist and Georges falls seriously ill. Following a humiliating encounter with Cora and her father Georges flees the town. At the very end of the story he returns years later to find Cora surrounded by three children with "a long nose thinned lips eyes a bit red gaunt cheeks and several teeth missing." Bound-in before the manuscript is a presentation inscription from Lina Sand Calamatta the wife of Maurice Dudevant Sand's son to Monsieur Ferrand dated 26 June 1890. We also find two manuscript letters from Sand Calamatta laid-in one of them dated 27 January 1895. She was the daughter of the French Neoclassical painter Joséphine Calamatta 1817-93 and the Italian painter and engraver Luigi Calamatta 1802-69. In fine condition. It is quite rare to find complete autograph manuscripts of Sand's writings on the market. unknown books

Redfield this book compiles four short love stories including The Devil's Pool by George Sand and The Story of Leonard and Margaret by Robert Southey. Although the word "Illustrated" is stamped into the cover there are no illustrations within; it is unclear whether this book was ever issued with illustrations.

1848293976Paris 1848. unbound. very good. Important A.L.S. as Sand had recently began writing for the soon-to-be-banned Le Vrai Republique with integral address page personal stationary with blind stamped monogrammed initials: "G.S." 8vo. 1 page Paris March 16th 1848 to radical journalist and fellow supporter of the French Revolution Theophile Thore in French with translation explaining that she has not yet met with Louis and Charles Blanc and apologizes for not having responded to his letters because all of her time has been consumed writing material for the Republique. In closing she signs herself "a vous de tout Coeur / George Sand". Evenly toned and set into a white matte gatefold whereby both the letter and the integral address page are both visible then placed into a simple gold-stained wooden frame to 13" x 11.5". Louis Blanc 1811-1882 was a staunch French Socialist and reformer who only three months after this letter was written was exiled to England where he would remain until 1870. Also two weeks prior to this letter being sent George Sand had agreed to provide the Republique with no less than 13 original articles for publication. An exceptional letter written during the heart of the French Revolution of 1848.<br/><br/> French novelist and socialist whose works were immensely popular in Europe during her lifetime and whose fame eclipsed both that of Victor Hugo and Honore de Balzac in the 1840's and 1850's.<br/><br/> unknown books
