«Le Meunier d'Angibault» is the novel by George Sand, published by Editions du Carrousel in hardback (476 pages, in French).
Widowed, the Countess de Blanchemont considers marrying Henri Lémor, a poor young man. But he, deeply despising the privileges of fortune, refuses her hand. Thanks to her confidant, the miller of Angibault, the young aristocrat gradually discovers the evils of money. Indeed, wealth can give rise to vice and cause misfortune. First published in 1845 as a serial novel in the socialist newspaper La Réforme, Le Meunier d'Angibault is a true exaltation of the common man. George Sand develops a theme dear to her: love struggling against prejudice and society.
Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin de Francueil, best known by her pen name George Sand, was a French novelist, memoirist and journalist. Being more renowned than either Victor Hugo or Honoré de Balzac in Britain in the 1830s and 1840s, Sand is recognised as one of the most notable writers of the European Romantic era. She has more than 50 volumes of various works to her credit, including tales, plays and political texts, alongside her 70 novels.
