«La Mare au Diable» is the pastoral novel by George Sand, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (192 pages, in French).
In the nineteenth-century French countryside, the widowed farmer Germain sets out on a journey hoping to find a wife to care for his children. He goes with his son Petit Pierre and meets Marie, a young woman heading to a farm to work as a shepherdess. The fog leads them astray and they spend the night at the Mare au Diable; that experience close to nature marks their destinies.
The work was originally published in 1846 and is dedicated to Chopin. This edition belongs to the Ldp Classiques collection.
For readers of French classics, nineteenth-century novels, and rural tales with romance.
Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin de Francueil, best known by her pen name George Sand, was a French novelist, memoirist and journalist. Being more renowned than either Victor Hugo or Honoré de Balzac in Britain in the 1830s and 1840s, Sand is recognised as one of the most notable writers of the European Romantic era. She has more than 50 volumes of various works to her credit, including tales, plays and political texts, alongside her 70 novels.
