Consuelo, et, La Comtesse de Rudolstadt (English)

Considered to be George Sand's masterpiece, “Consuelo” tells the riveting story of a gypsy singer who goes on to become one of the great contemporary opera singers. Set in mid-19th century Venice, Austria, and Bohemia, “Consuelo” takes the reader on an emotional and groundbreaking story of love and music. George Sand was one of the most important writers of the 19th century. She boldly wrote of women like herself. Women who knew what they wanted and were unafraid of the travails of the world. Sand lived that day to day and became known more for her escapades with Frederick Chopin than her writing in Paris and the literary world. A classic of the romantic genre, “Consuelo” is not to be missed.
