Colette
Though Colette's novels have been thought sentimental and she herself has earned a certain notoriety as a decadent sensualist, Nicole Ward Jouve argues that we need to look closely at Colette's work again, and with the hindsight of feminist theory, to rediscover that inimitable talent for the inscription of sensual and familial pleasure.

The Collected Stories of Colette
Edited and with an introduction by Robert Phelps The hundred short stories collected here include such masterpieces as 'Bella- Vista', 'The Tender Shoot' and 'Le K- pi', Colette's subtle and ruthless rendering of a woman's belated sexual awakening. Shot through with the colours and flavours of the Parisian world and fertile French countryside, these short stories reverberate with the fine- spun desire, wit and psychological acuity that made Colette unique.
500 Enameled Objects
An on-the-page gallery is illustrated with hundreds of photographs of work by more than three hundred international contemporary artists, including Harlan W. Butt and David C. Freda.
Colette
Known almost as well for her colorful personal life as for her remarkable literary gifts, the French writer Colette (1873-1954) has long fascinated critics and biographers, feminists and general readers. Thrice married, Colette earned her livelihood not only as a writer but also as a music hall performer, a beautician, and an actress. In her lifetime she published scores of works including plays, short stories, journal articles, animal dialogues, memoirs, and novels, among them the Claudine series, Cheri, Le Ble en herbe, and Gigi. For these and other achievements, Colette was named a member of the Belgian Royal Academy and the French Legion of Honor. In addition, she became the first female president of the Academie Goncourt and, upon her death, the first woman in French history to be accorded a state funeral. In Colette, Updated Edition, Joan Hinde Stewart provides a timely revision of her well-received 1983 volume, taking into account recent critical and biographical analyses of Colette, as well as significant new source materials, such as the long-awaited volumes in the Pleiade edition of Colette's works.
