Immerse yourself in early 20th-century France with 'Chéri,' a novel by Colette that explores the complexities of love affairs and seduction in high society. The story centers on Léa de Lonval, a courtesan who has dedicated six years to the amorous education of Fred Peloux, whom she nicknames Chéri. When Chéri announces his marriage of convenience, they both decide to separate, but Léa does not anticipate the deep desire that binds her to her lover or the sacrifices she will have to make. This edition from Acantilado features a translation by Núria Petit Fontserè, offering an ironic and insightful look at social circles and the feminine soul.
Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, known mononymously as Colette or as Colette Willy, was a French author and woman of letters. She was also a mime, actress, and journalist. Colette is best known in the English-speaking world for her 1944 novella Gigi, which was the basis for the 1958 film and the 1973 stage production of the same name. Her short story collection The Tendrils of the Vine is also famous in France.
