Mauprat by George Sand
"Mauprat" by George Sand is a novel published in 1837. This Gothic romance follows Bernard Mauprat, a nobleman raised by violent kinsmen who becomes a brutalized outcast. When he helps his cousin Edmée escape captivity, he extracts a promise of marriage through threat. What follows is a gradual courtship that challenges traditional gender roles and questions women's education in society. Blending elements of "Beauty and the Beast" with social commentary, Sand crafts
a story of transformation that culminates in a dramatic trial scene where love and redemption hang in the balance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
