Lelia

Lelia

This novel (1833) is inspired the person of George Sand. The heroine is a woman of action, but devoured by the demon of analysis, and whose charm works on many men: the poet Sténio (we think of Musset), the former converted adventurer, Trenmor, the hermit Magnus. Lélia seeks peace by becoming the abbess of a convent. Sténio finds him there and it’s a tragedy.
