The young Indiana is a product of her time-submissive and bound by societal conventions-but despite the many obstacles in her path, notably her controlling husband Colonel Delmare and the charming Raymon de Ramière, she will find her way to love and most importantly, freedom. This adaptation of George Sand's seminal novel Indiana captures the compelling and at-the-time scandalous feminist drive of the original.
Entering life at the French royal court, a world in which "what is shown is rarely the truth," the young Princess of Clèves learns of passion's torments, of heartbreak, and of the agony of love. Claire Bouilhac and Catel Muller's graphic-novel adaption of this classic tale-often referred to as the forerunner of the modern psychological novel-remains faithful to the original 17th-century text, while also providing surprising and original insight into both the mystery of the creative act, and the link between the author, Madame de La Fayette, and her heroine, the Princess of Clèves.
