Features: This book is one of the "World Classics Collection," featuring the short stories of George Sand, one of France's most outstanding female novelists and one of the world's most famous female novelists. The collection includes her works such as The Magic Pool, Morphée, Valentina, The Marchioness, and Matthia. The Magic Pool is a representative of George Sand's pastoral novels. In the preface to the novel, she declared her intention to depict beauty in simplicity, and indeed, this novel is a very simple yet poetic love story. The plot is quite straightforward, basically only depicting events that occur over a single day and night, but George Sand manages to extract the noble, upright, and kind hearts of the male and female protagonists from this simple storyline. Despite their economic and age differences, love erases these disparities. Though they are not conventionally beautiful, they are righteous, hardworking, and robust, possessing a unique kind of healthy beauty. The night spent in the magic pool allows their emotions to connect, achieving inner harmony.
