The full scope of Colette’s remarkable genius is vividly displayed in these selections from a half century of literary creation. Included in its entirely is the enchanting Gigi, wordly, witty, and wise, and an excerpt from one of the masterpieces, The Last of Cheri, a classic novel of an aging courtesan and her young ex-lover. Recollections of childhood and of life among music-hall artises, portraits of people and deeply personal evocations of nature, are rendered with scrupulous stylistic mastery that captures the finest shades of perception, the most delicate nuances of sensibility. The keynote of this collection is diversity, but the final effect is one of supreme unity; these stories, memories, meditations, and descriptions combine to from a single world, a world in which spirit and flesh are one, and the senses reign supreme.
