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
