Book Synopsis This Woman, This Man by : George Sand

Download or read book This Woman, This Man written by George Sand. This book was released on 2022-09-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Graham Anderson's translations of both Sand's and Colet's novels are faithful and highly readable, with short but helpful introductions. Anderson's translation is far better [than the previous]: his prose is tighter, better paced, more natural sounding, modern without being anachronistic." -Raymond N. MacKenzie in The London Review of Books George Sand's fictionalised account of her notorious affair with the poet Alfred de Musset caused a sensation on its publication two years after his death, in 1859. It also prompted a volley of claim and counter-claim: two more novels rapidly appeared in the following months, Lui Et Elle, by Musset’s brother, defending his reputation; and Lui, by Louise Colet, Flaubert’s former mistress and briefly Musset’s. Then the journalists and commentators of the day joined in, with Eux, by Gaston Lavalley, and Eux Et Elles, by Adolphe de Lescure, satirising the whole sordid business

Book Synopsis The Queen of Darkness and other stories by : Grazia Deledda

Download or read book The Queen of Darkness and other stories written by Grazia Deledda. This book was released on 2023-03-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient traditions of Sardinia feature heavily in this early collection. The stories collected in The Queen of Darkness, published in 1902 shortly after Deledda’s marriage and move to Rome, reflect her transformation from little-known regional writer to an increasingly fêted and successful mainstream author. The two miniature psycho-dramas that open the collection are followed by stories of Sardinian life in the remote hills around her home town of Nuoro. The stark but beautiful countryside is a backdrop to the passions, misadventures and injustices which shape the lives of its rugged but all too human inhabitants. Graham Andersopn's translation was longlisted for The Women in Translation Prize.

Book Synopsis Marianna Sirca by : Grazia Deledda

Download or read book Marianna Sirca written by Grazia Deledda. This book was released on 2024-05-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The struggles of both Marianna and Simone with their own consciences, with their nearest and dearest and with what they feel is most likely to make them happy are what this book is about and Deledda tells her story very well. We can sympathise with Marianna and Simone while recognising, even if not agreeing with the opposing view, even if this is set well over a hundred years ago in a society with different mores from ours.' John Alvey in The Modern Novel 'Richly imagined and uncompromising in its powerful descriptions, Marianna Sirca is an engrossing novel that vividly evokes a time and place far removed from the modern world. It left me curious to read more of Deledda’s extensive body of work.' Aneesa Abbas Higgins in The Riveter
