Pastoral Trilogy

About This Novel
The "Pastoral Trilogy" contains three pastoral novels by the 19th-century French romantic novelist George Sand: "The Enchanted Marsh," "Little Fadette" and "The Outcast François." "The Enchanted Marsh" is the first pastoral novel written by George Sand when he secluded himself in his own manor in Nohant. It tells the story of farmer Germain and his neighbor little Marie walking together and falling in love with each other. This group of pastoral works based on rural life depicts simple and peaceful pastoral scenery, and eulogizes the innocent love between young men and women that transcends social class and the gap between rich and poor. With its bright and cheerful atmosphere, innocent and simple style, and the consistent awareness of social equality, it has won the love of many readers.

Personally I don't like it very much. . . The author herself said that she hopes her novels can describe ideal societies or characters. But when I read it it felt almost unreal. Everyone likes beautiful things, but if they are not real but imaginary, then how much meaning does it have? I originally thought it contained beautiful descriptions of pastoral scenery or customs. Unfortunately, the author herself said that she was not a knowledgeable writer and relied on emotion to win. Everyone has different preferences. For me, the description of characters, customs, and scenery is the skeleton, and the best is to have plain and true feelings.
