About this edition
When a charming, faithless neighbour offers her the illusion of passion, she stakes everything on it, in a revolt against the whole order of things that will carry her to the edge of death.
Published in 1832, when its twenty-seven-year-old author had just left her own husband and taken the name that made her famous, Indiana was George Sand’s first independent novel, a scandal, a sensation, and one of the founding protests of modern literature against the laws that bind a woman’s heart. Here in George B. Ives’s public-domain translation, with Sand’s own defiant prefaces of 1832 and 1842.
Freshly typeset behind an original mixed media cover illustration by JVB Atelier Designs.
