Sand, George Mauprat
London William Heinemann 1904 Cloth Good TEG No Jacket Avril, Eugene Paul
Gilt on leather title label on brown cloth boards. Leather title label worn and some light wear to board edges. Internally there is light foxing to endpapers else clean, tight and unmarked. Fore edge uncut. Top edge gilt. Translated by John Oliver Hobbes with a critical introduction. Photogravure portrait of Sand and 3 coloured plates by Eugene Paul Avril tissue guarded. Appendix of portraits and notes by Octave Uzanne. xix + 426 pages. Uniform with A Library of French Masterpieces edited by Edmund Gosse. The novel is set before the French Revolution and depicts the coming of age of a nobleman, Bernard Mauprat, with the story narrated by the old Bernard in his country home many years later, as told to a nameless young male visitor. Bernard recounts how, raised by a violent gang of his feudal kinsmen after the death of his mother, he becomes a brutalized 'enfant sauvage.' When his cousin Edmée is held captive by Bernard's 'family', he helps her escape, but elicits a promise of marriage from her by threatening rape. Thus begins the long courtship of Bernard and Edmée. The novel ends with a trial similar to the one in Stendhal's The Red and the Black.
