Overview

"What a brave man she was, and what a good woman." was once said by the novelist Ivan Turgeney. George sand (1804 1876) is the pseudonym for a leading French novelist. Sand could often be seen around Paris in male clothing. She claimed that men s clothing was cheaper, gave more freedom and was more comfortable. Sand is also known for her affair with the musician Chopin. Gustave Flaubert was a French novelist born in 1821. He played a major role in the realist school in French literature. His best-known work was Madame Bovary, which led to a trial on the novel s alleged immorality. This collection is an exchange of letters between two preeminent nineteenth-century French writers. Sand first wrote a complimentary review of a Flaubert novel, and he responded with a grateful letter. They continued to share their thoughts on the art of writing; on literature; on French culture, society, and politics; and on personal concerns, even though their views were far apart.
