These selections from George Sand's journals form an integrated whole and show Sand as a woman, lover, mother, artist, politician, chatelaine, and friend. Sand's journal writing is thought by many to be her most expressive and natural; here the artist's most complex and interesting character is revealed: George Sand herself.
Three collections of George Sand's writings: her journal to Alfred de Musset; the Piffoel journal, composed of conversations between her masculine and feminine selves; and a scrapbook the dates of which overlap the two journals. This last compilation includes personal letters, reflections and mementoes that were dear to this remarkable woman.
