Project Gutenberg 2008-10-07 Public domain in the USA. 56 Feuillet, Octave 1821 1890 Histoire de Sibylle Produced by Daniel Fromont "Histoire de Sibylle" by Octave Feuillet is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around Sibylle-Anne de Férias, a young girl who becomes the center of attention after her family's tragic loss. The narrative begins by exploring her upbringing in an aristocratic household, highlighting the dynamics that shape her character and the relationships she develops with her grandparents and the surrounding community. At the start of the novel, the scene is set in the quaint village of Férias, where the church bells chime during a festive occasion. We are introduced to Sibylle's grandparents, the marquis and marquise de Férias, who are grieving the recent loss of their son and daughter-in-law. This grief is juxtaposed with the introduction of the lively and somewhat self-absorbed neighbor, Madame de Beaumesnil, who seeks to console them while sensationalizing their sorrow. The story delves into Sibylle's early childhood, her fiery temperament, and how she responds to the challenges of growing up amid the contrasting influences of her loving yet solemn family and the frivolous behavior of those like Madame de Beaumesnil. As Sibylle begins to assert her independence and desires, a narrative of her adventures, the complexities of her surroundings, and her interactions with her enigmatic tutor, Miss O'Neil, slowly unfold.
