«Un invierno en Mallorca» is the autobiographical travel work by George Sand translated by Enrique Azcoaga, published by RBA in 2010 (205 pages).
The book recounts George Sand and Frédéric Chopin's stay in Mallorca between 1838 and 1839: the landscapes, the island's customs, and the hardships they suffered at the Charterhouse of Valldemossa. Sand combines personal testimony with social observation.
The original text was published in 1842. Enrique Azcoaga not only translates the text: his contributions complete this Spanish edition.
It appeals to readers of travel literature, nineteenth-century classics, and the figure of George Sand.
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.
