"Chère Maître", c'est en ces termes que Gustave Flaubert s'adresse à George Sand. Au fil de la correspondance qu'ils échangèrent, de 1866 à 1876, se révèlent deux conceptions du monde, deux esthétiques, deux tempéraments. La générosité et l'attention aux autres de George Sand et l'esprit torturé et solitaire de Gustave Flaubert.

Cette correspondance, belle d'intelligence, pose sur la société du XIXe siècle, un regard d'une grande pertinence.
