Summary/Abstract: George Sand's originality stems from her desire not to be devastated by the afflictions and setbacks that cruelly crossed her life. Paradoxically, political disenchantment and sentimental disappointment made her a very optimistic and enthusiastic woman, in love with life and its harshest and most discreet joys. Sand never sought to deny the misfortunes that consumed her life, her heart and her mind. She accepted them while seeking to take advantage of them and sublimate them, always living in the hope of finding what rejoices her heart, revives her strength of love and renews her faith in the future. This quest for happiness, Sand carried it to the last breath: the secret of Sandian bliss lies both in writing and in nature.
