The world-famous novel "Consuelo" is considered one of the best works of George Sand (1804-1876). Its main character is a young girl Consuelo, for whom the meaning of life is to sing. Apart from music and singing, nothing exists for her. The action of the novel takes place in the middle of the 18th century. The historical background against which the fates of the main characters unfold is Venice with its musical life, the Czech Republic with its heroic past, and Soldaphon Prussia. And the prototype of Consuelo, a girl with a divine voice, was the world-famous French singer Pauline Viardeau, who for many years was the muse of the Russian writer I.S. Turgenev.
