| Summary | "André" by George Sand is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story delves into the life of André de Morand, the son of a nobleman, as he grapples with his identity, desires, and the expectations of his family in rural France. At the start of the novel, we find an introspective André, who feels a deep disconnect from the rural life that seems to satisfy those around him. He's depicted as a melancholic and contemplative young man, yearning for something more than the simple pleasures that occupy his father's domain. The opening also establishes a vivid contrast between the tranquility of nature and André's inner turmoil. He experiences fleeting encounters with a mysterious girl in the countryside—his dream-like visions of love that hint at an awakening of passion. Through André's character, Sand hints at broader themes of societal expectations, personal aspiration, and the complexities of youthful love. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
