«La gata» is the novel by Colette, published by Ediciones Orbis in hardcover and in Spanish.
It narrates the marriage of Alain and Camille and Alain's special relationship with his cat Saha, a refuge from social expectations. Camille's jealousy turns the animal into the center of the marital conflict: a fable about possession, nature and female independence that criticizes bourgeois conventions.
1982 edition in the Historia Universal de la Literatura collection, no. 31. Work originally published in 1933 as La Chatte, translated by E. Piñas.
For readers of classic French fiction and lovers of stories about cats and human relationships.
