«Un invierno en Mallorca» is George Sand's travel account, published by Classic Collection Carolina in paperback (278 pages, in Spanish).
George Sand and Frédéric Chopin spent the winter of 1838-1839 at the Charterhouse of Valldemossa with the writer's two children, a journey motivated by the pianist's illness. Sand describes the beauty of Mallorca, the harshness of the climate and the clash with its inhabitants, until the situation forces them to leave for Barcelona and France.
The work «Un invierno en Mallorca» was originally published in 1842; this Spanish edition, illustrated with plates and drawings, appeared in 2002.
A work for readers of travel literature and 19th-century chronicles, especially those interested in Mallorca and the figure of Chopin.
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.
