The opening of the book introduces Aurore Dupin, wholater became known as George Sand, highlighting the contrasting influences of her aristocratic paternal lineage and her working-class maternal roots. Doumic describes her childhood environment, illustrating how the rivalry between her mother and grandmother shaped her early life and emotional landscape. It goes on to summarize her tumultuous upbringing, her tender bond with nature, and the conflicts that defined her early personality traits, setting the stage for her later revolutionary ideas and literary achievements.
