Bøger af George Sand

Den berømte franske forfatterinde George Sand rejste i vinteren 1838 fra det pulserende Paris til Mallorca sammen med sine to sønner og den unge polske komponist Frédéric Chopin for at nyde øens varme og stilhed. De blev nogle af øens første turister, men den modtagelse de fik, ligner ikke den, man er vant til i dag. Ikke alene ramte de øen midt i en borgerkrig, men beboerne var skeptiske og fremmedfjendske, og vinteren blev kold på flere forskellige måder. "En vinter på Mallorca" fortæller om regn, kulde, uhygge og konflikter med øboerne, som alt sammen står i skarp kontrast til det uberørte landskabs umådelige skønhed.idden /title /head body center h1 403 Forbidden /h1 /center /body /htmlGeorge Sand er pseudonym for den franske forfatterinde Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin (1804-1876), som er lige så kendt for sine romaner og erindringer, som hun var for sine affærer med blandt andre den polske komponist Frédéric Chopin og den franske forfatter Alfred de Musset. George Sand er også berømt for at klæde sig i mandetøj og ryge tobak, hvilket på hendes tid ikke var tilladt for kvinder end ikke af hendes høje stand.

På sine ældre dage morede George Sand sig med at digte eventyr for sine børnebørn, og nogle af dem udgav hun i to samlinger med titlen Bedstemors historier. Et af de længste var Modets vinger, som fortæller historien om den halte og frygtsomme Clopinet. Hans fader og moder frygter, at han ikke vil være i stand til at forsørge sig som bonde eller sømand, som det er sædvane på egnen, og sætter ham i lære hos en skrædder, der skræmmer Clopinet så meget, at han flygter og, idet han følger nogle mystiske stemmer, gemmer sig i et gammelt vagttårn ude i klitterne ved havet. Ved således at være tvunget til ved egne kræfter at opretholde tilværelsen, finder han efterhånden sine modets vinger.

Ved romanens begyndelse - omkring 1830 - er hovedpersonen Horace en selvoptagen 19-årig, noget pralende, økonomisk uansvarlig, og en selv-iscenesætter på grænsen til, hvad man nu om dage ville kalde psykopat.Hans væsen er vindende, (men ren overflade, et resultat af Horaces egen indbildning - hvilket ikke ret mange af bogens øvrige personer nogensinde finder ud af); han får den unge opvarterske Marthe til at forlade sin forlovede, alene fordi han kan og har brug for at blive beundret; og senere erobrer han - tror han - vicomtesse Leonie de Chailly, fordi han har brug at stige op ad den sociale rangstige.Disse kærlighedsaffærer er som alt andet, han foretager sig, kun kortvarige succes'er for Horace. Men han er ude af stand til at drage nogen lære af sine fald, og opfinder i stedet et nyt projekt eller en ny ambition til afløsning af det forrige.Horace kan til tider fortabe sig i lange docerende afsnit, men den er også meget ironisk, ondskabsfuld og spændende, ikke mindst i portrættet af vicomtesse de Chailly, der er taget efter en af George Sands veninder, som hun var raget uklar med, og skildringen af en af de mange smårevolutioner, der florerede i Paris under "borgerkongen" Louis-Philippe.

"O my noble-hearted boy!" cried Bianca, pressing my head against her breast with deep emotion; "O pure and unselfish soul! Who will dare now to say that there are no great hearts save those that are born in palaces!"Gathered together with some younger friends in Venice in the mid-nineteenth century is the ageing singer, Lelio. He has had a glittering career, which is not yet over, but past its prime. Spurred on by their curiosity, he recounts the story of his life and, more importantly, of his one great love, never consummated.He had been a working class boy from nearby Chioggia, put into service as a gondolier at the palace of the great Aldini family on the Grand Canal. Two rival passions dominate his life - singing, and his mistress, Bianca Aldini. His love for her develops slowly and in secret. His astonishment when he begins to detect that it may be returned is great, but soon turns to misery as he realizes that she cannot overcome social custom to the point of uniting herself with one of such a different class, no matter how much she cares. He leaves Bianca's service, thinking her an adorable coward.His singing career under a stage name subsequently goes from strength to strength, and renown is his. All the attendant opportunities for adventures in love also present themselves. Then one day at a performance an imperious young aristocrat looks down at him intently from a privileged box. Later, he recognizes her as Bianca's daughter Alezia, the last of the Aldinis, who was an insolent and difficult child the last time he saw her. She has grown into a spirited and magnificent young woman. He is entranced.Alezia does not recognize him, and is fascinated. Will he be able to forget his beloved Bianca and give his heart wholly to her daughter? Should he reveal his identity? What will happen if Bianca hears of any liaison? Alezia's current suitor, her cousin Hector, may see any affair in a very harsh light if it is exposed. The scene is set for intrigue, secrecy, misunderstanding, fascination and deception in a complex network of emotion and honour, which can only end when healthy truth is embraced.The Last of the Aldinis was first published in 1839.
