Indiana: Georges Sand

The novel “Indiana” (1832) at one time shocked the respectable audience, which considered it scandalous and almost obscene. “Indiana,” J. Sand wrote in the preface to the first edition, “is a type; it is a woman, a weak creature, which is suppressed or, if you like, eliminated by laws of passions; this is the will in the fight against not bypassing; this is love, which bears its blind forehead about all the obstacles of civilization.”
The story of a young Creole, almost a child who was married to a cruel, cynical and powerful old man, Colonel Delmar, turns under the pen of Georges Sand into a hymn to the strong feelings of a proud woman who dreams of love and happiness in his own understanding. The rebellious and brave, Indiana is not afraid to risk his reputation and even life in order to find his way in this life, his place in the world and a man who will not just burn with passion, but respect an equivalent person and human dignity in it.
