Colette et Willy
L'évocation de ce couple mythique de la littérature française est replacée dans le contexte social et politique du début du XXe siècle. Gabrielle Colette épouse Henry Gauthier-Villars, fils d'un libraire-éditeur. Leur vie privée, marquée par l'adultère, les amours initiatiques, l'écriture et les succès littéraires, est relatée.
Colette
L'œuvre de Colette semble une transparente autobiographie. L'écrivain se met en scène aussi bien dans les textes de souvenirs d'enfance (La Maison de Claudine, Sido) ou de maturité (Mes apprentissages, Le Fanal bleu, L'Etoile Vesper), que dans les romans (La Naissance du jour, Bella-vista, Chambre d'hôtel...) - sans parler des transpositions (Claudine à l'école, La Vagabonde, Chéri, La Seconde...).

The Memoirs of Portos the Dog
This book contains twelve stories for intermediate to advanced readers. The stories include dog and cat fiction and fantasy tales. Several of the stories are based on the author's childhood memories in France.
My Mother's House and Sido
In "My Mother's House" and "Sido," Colette plays fictional variations on the themes of childhood, family, and, above all, her mother. Vividly alive, fond of cities, music, theater, and books, Sido devoted herself to her village, Saint-Saveur; to her garden, with its inhabitants and its animals; and, especially, to her children, particularly her youngest, whom she called Minet-Cheri. Unlike "Gigi" and "Cheri," which focus largely on sexual love and its repercussions, "My Mother's House" and "Sido "center on the compelling figure of a powerful, nurturing woman in late-nineteenth-century rural France, conveying the impact she had on her community and on her daughter -- who grew up to be a great writer.
