Consuelo

Consuelo – the first book of the famous duology Consuelo. Countess Rudolstadt, who at one time became a sensation in both Europe and Russia. George Sand brings her characters together in Venice and Vienna, in Bohemia and Prussia, creating a... special world where selfless and passionate love reigns, while ambition, vanity, and material interests appear as something base and insignificant. The genre of this work, balancing between historical and adventure novel and gothic mysticism, is completely difficult to define, yet it is all the more interesting to follow its plot and the dramatic twists of fate of the main heroine, whose prototype was the famous Pauline Viardot. The young Venetian opera singer Consuelo has to overcome difficult trials, sharing her art with the people. This is a book about the fate of a true artist, about the complex, and sometimes even tragic, choice between fame and personal happiness.
