About this ebook
A passionate young woman defies social convention and an oppressive marriage in George Sand's groundbreaking 19th-century masterpiece of romantic rebellion.
Trapped in an unhappy union with the domineering, elderly Colonel Delmare, young creole noblewoman Indiana yearns for genuine affection and independence. When she catches the eye of the charming aristocrat Raymon de Ramière, a tempestuous secret romance begins. Indiana must confront the harsh realities of societal double standards, personal betrayal, and the struggle for emotional autonomy across 19th-century France and the remote island of Île Bourbon.
Written with raw emotional power and psychological depth, Indiana remains a vital work of classic European literature. This edition includes George Burnham Ives's faithful English translation alongside a comprehensive chronology of George Sand's life and literary career.
