This is George Sand's first novel. Her real name was Amantine (or Amandine) Lucile Dupin, and she later became baroness Dudevant. As an aristocratic woman living in 19th century France, she chose her first novel to be, above all, a realistic work. Indiana is trapped since the age of 16 in a loveless marriage with a rich, much older, man. Her only real friend is her cousin, sir Ralph, who, sometimes, just does things which are- logically- the best for her but- mentally- the worsed he could do. She tries to find means of escape. But would she be able to recreate her own reality? Can a woman find true love while trying to maintain her identity and independence in a man's world?"

Luís Vaz de Camões (c. 1524 — 10 de Junho de 1580) é frequentemente considerado como o maior poeta de língua portuguesa e dos maiores da Humanidade. O seu gênio é comparável ao de Virgílio, Dante, Cervantes ou Shakespeare.

However, when he brings his younger sister Zinka into that circle, she is received very coldly at first, if at all. And when, with her fresh and unaffected manners, she wins one heart after another, especially that of the handsome Count Sempaly, she also excites jealousy and contempt in many members of that "set". They are not willing to give up the old notions of social rank and status without a fight...

Couperus, van wien wij sedert zijn onvergelijkelijke Psyché niets mochten hooren, is weer aan het vertellen gegaan, zooals slechts hij onder onze Nederlandsche prozaschrijvers dat kan. En hij vertelt ons thans van Fidessa, de nimf die zweefde en zong en speelde met hare zusteren op de vochtige weide, tokkelend de maanlichtsnaren en die eerst op den Eenhoorn, het edele dier met het sneeuwblanke lijf, wordt meegevoerd door het donkere bosch waar de inktschaduwen van de takken druipen en dan op de heide neergeworpen, door een geharnast ridder, Sans-Joye, wordt opgenomen op zijn paard en gereden naar zijn versterkt kasteel in de stad.
