The Miller of Angibault (1845) is George Sand's `arch-socialist' novel, according to the writer herself. Rejected by its original publisher as too violent an attack on property, it actually satirizes the utopian ideals of Paris reformers who try to put their naive plans into action among the country folk of Sand's native Berry. The Miller of Angibault reflects both the ebullient political movements of its period and the despairing conviction that the Revolution of 1789 had changed nothing. This is a new translation which fully captures Sand's self-effacing humour and gentle lyricism. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Marcelle too has a love interest- Henri Lemor, who she hopes to marry once her period of mourning is up. But unlike the miller, held back by being too poor, Marcelle's lover is reluctant to marry her because of her wealth:
'I adore this woman, this angel, but I could never be the husband of a wealthy woman...And then I would have certain scruples in condemning to poverty a woman for whom I feel an infinite tenderness...This child, this woman, they do not belong to our race...They are the dethroned masters of the earth, and they would demand of their former slaves the treatment and affectations to which they are accustomed.'
There's a very neat ending, with the help of a madwoman and a local tramp. Marcelle and the miller are a little too calm and virtuous to fully engage one's sympathies. ( )
