Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Colette's celebrated novels about an older courtesan and her young lover, now in a new translation and published in one volume.Colette'sCheri(1920) and its sequel,The End of Cheri(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- Lea de Lonval, a middle-aged former courtesan, and Fred Peloux, twenty-five years her junior, known as Cheri. The two have been involved for years, and it is time for Cheri 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 Lea to let go ofCheri and the sensual life that has been hers, and yet this is more easily resolved than done. Cheri 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 Cheri, 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. "Chaeri is a novel by Colette published in France in 1920. The title character's true name is Fred Peloux, but he is known as Chaeri to almost everyone, except, usually, to his wife. This novel was followed by a sequel, La Fin de Chaeri, published in 1926"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
