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.
Edited and with an introduction by Robert PhelpsThe 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.
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.
