Paris: Michel Lévy Frères 1887-1892. Leather. Good. 7.5" by 5". None. A complete three volume set of Sand's romantic French novel 'The Snowman'. 'Nouvelle Édition'. Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin was best known by her pseudonym George Sand and was a French Novelist and memoirist remembered for her affairs with Frederic Chopin and Alfred de Musset as much as her work. Sand actively supported the February revolution of 1848 as a radical left-wing supporter but the events of the June Day uprising shattered her Utopian illusions and her work reflected that returning to the romantic spirit of her earlier work. 'The Snowman' is part of her later romantic work along with 'Jean de la Roche'. A mixed edition set with volume I published in 1887 and volume II and III published in 1892. All volumes are from the larger collection 'Oeuvres Complètes de George Sand' edited by Calvin Lévy and published by the Parisian publishing house Michel Lévy Frères. In French.
