«Le Blé en herbe» is Colette's coming-of-age novel, published by Flammarion in paperback (188 pages, in French).
During summers in Brittany, Philippe and Vinca share a childhood complicity that breaks apart as adolescence arrives: new desires, jealousy, and a mysterious lady in white alter their relationship. Colette portrays the awakening of love and the end of childhood with a bold, unconventional gaze.
Work originally published in 1923. This edition from the GF Flammarion collection includes a preface by Claude Pichois.
For French-speaking readers interested in twentieth-century French literary classics.
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.
