Features: This library aims to compile the essence of world literary creation, comprehensively reflecting the highest achievements of world literature, including that of China, and providing readers with world-class literary masterpieces. It takes the long novels that best represent the literary achievements of an era as the backbone, while fully reflecting the outstanding achievements in other genres such as short stories, poetry, prose, drama, fairy tales, and fables. The selection of works spans the following periods: for foreign literature, from ancient heroic epics to the end of World War II; for Chinese literature, from the Book of Songs to the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is a precious literary book system that embraces both ancient and modern times and includes works from all over the world. George Sand (1804-1876), originally named Aurel Dupin, was born into a well-respected noble family. His great-grandfather was a famous financier of the 18th century, his grandfather was a tax official in the regions of Metz and Alsace, and his grandmother was a personal aide to the Marshal of Saxony, son of King Augustus II of Poland. When Aurel was four years old, his father tragically passed away in an accident, and from then on, she grew up in the countryside of Normandy, raised by her grandmother.
