One day like today: George Sand
A particularly shy pianist, one night, played melodies for a small group in the living room of a house.
That night, that young pianist was harassed by one of the women attending. In a letter to a friend, she said: "She is an unbearable woman, she smokes, she is badly spoken, she has revolutionary ideas, she thinks she is a writer, she rides a horse like a man, and she pretends to seduce me!"
A few days later, the same pianist, speaking of the same woman, said: "She is a dream, while I can neither the child nor the other.
Who wrote in this way was the famous pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin and that woman, who caused him telluric emotions, was Aurore Dupin, the famous writer, the firm with the name of George Sand.
Aurore Dupin, was a woman who broke the schemes of her time, remarkable intellectual and writer, committed humanist; She was the author of the first French novel in which the protagonist was a worker.
George Sand was dying a day like today, June 7, 1876. And he left through a life of struggles and passions in the world of love and literature.
