Originally published December 6, 1877

Dime novel, French lit.

Author: George Sand




Written some time before 1845, in the middle of the author’s writing career, this is a two-part romance—two different stories about two different love affairs unexpectedly and dramatically connected—narrated by a famous Italian singer (fictional) to his Bohemian stage mates one maudlin evening after a performance in Genoa, as they take turns reminiscing about past lives and past loves.

George Sand (1804–1876), real name Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, a French novelist, was one of the most popular writers in Europe during her lifetime, being more renowned than both Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac in England in the 1830s and 1840s.  Sand is recognized as one of the most notable writers of the European Romantic era.

George Munro, the New York publisher of the 1877 English-language version which served as the source for this digital book, was known for not listing the names of translators, so whether he used an already translated version from Europe or paid someone to translate the novel into English himself, the translator’s name is unknown.
