Un hiver à Majorque
Récit du voyage à Majorque (Baléares) de George Sand et Frédéric Chopin en 1838-1839. «Ce livre porte sa date dans une lettre dédicace à mon ami François Rollinat et sa raison d'être dans les réflexions qui ouvrent le chapitre IV; je ne saurais que les répéter: Pourquoi voyager quand on y est pas forcé ? Aujourd'hui, revenant des mêmes latitudes traversées sur un autre point de l'Europe méridionale, je m'adresse la même réponse qu'autrefois à Majorque: C'est qu'il ne s'agit pas tant de voyager que de partir: quel est celui de nous qui n'a pas quelque douleur à distraire ou quelque joug à secouer ?» - George Sand, 1855.

George Sand
Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin de Francueil (French: [amɑ̃tin lysil oʁɔʁ dypɛ̃]; 1 July 1804 – 8 June 1876), best known by her pen name George Sand (French: [ʒɔʁʒ(ə) sɑ̃d]), was a French novelist, memoirist and journalist. Being more renowned than either Victor Hugo or Honoré de Balzac in Britain in the 1830s and 1840s, Sand is recognised as one of the most notable writers of the European Romantic era. She has more than 50 volumes of various works to her credit, including tales, plays and political texts, alongside her 70 novels.
Like her step great-grandmother, Louise Dupin, whom she admired, George Sand advocated for women's rights and passion, criticized the institution of marriage, and fought against the prejudices of a conservative society. She was considered scandalous because of her turbulent love life, her adoption of masculine clothing, and her masculine pseudonym.
