Description
A sensational and the most romantic of the novels, where all-consuming and passionate love rules!
“Consuelo” — the first book of the famous duology “Consuelo. Countess of Rudolstadt,” which once became a sensation both in Europe and in Russia. George Sand brings her heroes together in Venice and Vienna, in Bohemia and Prussia, creating a special world where all-consuming and passionate love reigns, while ambition, vanity, and material interests are presented as something base and insignificant.
The genre of this work, balancing between the historical and adventure novel and gothic mysticism, simply can’t be neatly defined—yet it’s all the more fascinating to follow its plot and the dramatic turns of fate of its main heroine, whose prototype was the famous Pauline Viardot. The young Venetian opera singer Consuelo has to overcome difficult trials, giving people her art. This is a book about the fate of a true artist, about the complex—and sometimes even tragic—choice between fame and personal happiness.
