Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. Colette's celebrated novels about an older courtesan and her young lover, now in a new translation and published in one volume. Colette's Chéri (1920) and its sequel, The End of Chéri (1926), are widely considered her masterpieces. In sensuous, elegant prose, the two novels explore the evolving inner lives and the intimate relationship of an unlikely couple: Léa de Lonval, a middle-aged former courtesan, and Fred Peloux, twenty-five years her junior, known as Chéri. The two have been involved for years, and it is time for Chéri to get on with life, to make something of himself, but he, the personification of male beauty and vanity, doesn't know how to go about it. It is time, too, for Léa to let go ofChéri and the sensual life that has been hers, and yet this is more easily resolved than done. Chéri marries, but once married he is restless and is inevitably drawn back to his mistress, as she is to him. And yet to reprise their relationship is only to realize even more the inevitability of its end. That end will come when Chéri, back from World War I, encounters a world that the war has changed through and through. Lost in his memories of time past, he is irremediably lost to the busy present. Paul Eprile's new translation of these two celebrated novels brings out a vivid sensuality and acute intelligence that past translations have failed to capture.

Paperback. Condition: New. 2nd ed. Language: English. Brand new Book. Two volumes of Colette's most beloved works, with a new Introduction by Judith Thurman. Chéri, together with The Last of Chéri, is a classic story of a love affair between a very young man and a charming older woman. The amour between Fred Peloux, the beautiful gigolo known as Chéri, and the courtesan Léa de Lonval tenderly depicts the devotion that stems from desire, and is an honest account of the most human preoccupations of youth and middle age.

Hardback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. Cheri and its sequel, The End of Cheri, mark Colette's finest achievements in their brilliant, subtle, and frank investigations of love and power. Set in the Parisian demimonde in the last days of the Belle Epoque, Cheri tells the story of Lea, a courtesan at the end of a successful career, and her lover, the beautiful but emotionally opaque Cheri. Cheri will soon enter into an arranged marriage, ending their six-year affair, which-they will each realize too late-has been the one real love of their lives. The End of Cheri picks up their story in the aftermath of the First World War. Cheri, now a decorated soldier, has returned from the trenches to a changed world. Emotionally estranged from his independent and unfaithful wife, a psychically wounded Cheri begins an inexorable descent-one that leads him back to a stunning encounter with Lea. As the acclaimed writer and translator Lydia Davis puts it in an illuminating foreword, Rachel Careau's "brilliantly ingenious, close new translation" reveals Cheri and The End of Cheri as "the strangest of love stories." Colette skillfully portrays her characters' shifting inner lives and desires amid a clear-eyed depiction of interpersonal power dynamics. Careau's lean, attentive translation restores to these classic novels their taut, remarkably modern style-the essence of Colette's genius.
