Lélia

George Sand

Le roman Lelia est une confession sincere dune femme noble et belle, mais froide comme une statue, déçue par lamour; un sentiment a survécu dans son âme agitée le besoin de croire en lamour et peut-tre en lamour divin. Le jeune poete Stenio aime passionnément Lelia et tente en vain de la faire revivre. La tendresse et la poésie des personnages, la beauté enchanteresse du style ne peuvent laisser indifférent. Le livre, sil nest pas completement autobiographique, reflete en tout cas les sentiments personnels ressentis par lauteur.
