Jules Sandeau
Jules Sandeau (born February 19, 1811 in Aubusson (Creuse) , † April 24, 1883 in Paris ) was a French writer and member of the Académie française .
Life
Jules Sandeau spent his childhood in Aubusson on the Creuze. He attended the Lyceum in Bourges and went to Paris in 1828 to study law. Soon his literary interests predominated and he joined the circle of romantics around Victor Hugo . He became the lover of Baroness Dudevant, who was seven years his senior - later George Sand , with whom he published the five-volume novel Rose et Blanche in 1831 . Their common pseudonym was Jules Sand . When Madame Dudevant later separated from Sandeau, she continued to use the writer name Sand, instead of Jules, she added the male first name George. Sandeau initially worked briefly with Honoré de Balzac and then wrote a series of novels, most of which appeared first in Figaro and in the Revue des Deux Mondes . His best-known work is the novel Das Fräulein von Laseiglière, published in 1848 . In the 1950s he turned to the stage and turned some of his novels into dramas. From 1854 he was curator at the Bibliothèque Mazarine , in 1858 he was accepted into the Académie française as the successor to the writer Charles Brifaut . After the tragic death of his only son in 1873, he stopped publishing and withdrew from the public.
