| Summary | "Isidora" by George Sand is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative revolves around the complex themes of gender relations and societal inequality, largely communicated through the experiences and thoughts of its main character, Jacques Laurent, who grapples with philosophical questions and emotional turmoil regarding women's roles in society and his feelings for a woman named Julie, who presents herself under a dual identity as Isidora. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Jacques, a solitary figure in Paris, who is engaged in a philosophical endeavor while facing the harsh realities of urban life and personal isolation. He contemplates the nature of gender equality and struggles to understand the contradictions in societal expectations of men and women. Amidst his reflections, he becomes enamored with a mysterious woman, whom he learns is called Isidora. The beginning highlights Jacques' intellectual pursuits, the emotional challenges of poverty, and his budding relationship with Julie/Isidora as he grapples with questions of love, morality, and identity.
