| Summary | "Metella" by George Sand is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story opens with the comte de Buondelmonte, who encounters misfortune during his travels and is helped by a young Genevan named Olivier. This initial meeting sets the stage for a complex interplay of relationships involving the enigmatic lady Mowbray, ultimately exploring themes of love, aging, and unrequited feelings. At the start of the novel, after falling into a ditch, the comte de Buondelmonte is rescued by Olivier, who insists on accompanying him to the next relay station. They share a meal while engaging in conversation that reveals their contrasting perspectives on life, particularly regarding the celebrated figure of lady Mowbray, whom Olivier admires from afar. The comte's strict confidence contains hints of jealousy and reflects his complex feelings for lady Mowbray, an object of affection who has been central in his life for ten years. As the two men discuss their perceptions of lady Mowbray, it becomes evident that both men have been affected by her beauty and charm, setting the foundation for romantic complications to unfold as the story progresses.
