The 19th century French novel has a well-know model called Bildung Novel. The inspiration for this name comes from Wilhem Meister by Goethe published in 1795. In this type of writing we witness the education (Bildung) of a hero or a heroin who has to face and overcome a series of difficulties. / In this memoire we will analyze the theme of education in the works of two authors Stendhal and George Sand. We have chosen two novels from each author, one dating back to the beginning of their career, and the other to the end. For Stendhal we have selected Le Rouge et le Noir (1830) and Lucien Leuwen (posthume publication 1894); Mauprat (1837) and La Ville Noire (1861) by Sand. / In each novel we will analyze family education, intellectual and moral training, life experience and sentimental education successively in the same way the heros experience them. / To do this we use thematic method which, as Jean Starobinski puts it, considers the theme as a unit of meaning of the novel. / In the conclusion we will compare the results of our analyses in the works of Stendhal and George Sand.
