1866
George Sand
1866
A non-fiction work, likely written in the mid-19th century. The book serves as a reflective travelogue, capturing the author's observations and experiences during a journey through the serene landscapes of a rural village in Berry, France, accompanied by two companions, a naturalist and an amateur artist. The opening of the book introduces readers to the author’s planned excursion, which takes place in late June of 1857. George Sand sets off with the naturalist, referred to as Chrysalidor, and the artist, whom she nicknames Amyntas, as they explore the local ecology with a particular focus on entomology. The scenery unfolds beautifully—a lush valley with a winding river, rich flora, and quaint rural life, providing a backdrop for the trio's adventures. Sand expresses a deep appreciation for the natural world while painting a vivid picture of the village's landscapes and inhabitants, setting the tone for a contemplative journey that intertwines nature, art, and personal reflection.
