192924513New York: Albert & Charles Boni. Very Good. 1929. First American Edition. Hardcover Second Printing. no dust jacket light bumping to bottom corners spine cloth a little sun-browned overall a good solid clean copy; bookplate of longtime MGM writer/producer Carey Wilson on front pastedown. B&W illustrations Originally published in France in 1920 this was the first of Colette's novels to appear in America and it set off something of a vogue for her work which lasted until roughly the mid-1930s. It's the story of a gigolo which playwright-journalist Lewis Galantière called "a brilliant work of character portrayal tragic in its implications but on the surface a comedy in a genre new to us and full of a slightly macabre fascination." The first film version was a French production released in 1950 directed by Pierre Billon; more recently Stephen Frears directed an adaptation in 2009 from a screenplay by Christopher Hampton starring Rupert Friend and Michelle Pfeiffer. The novel has also served as the basis for a couple of TV adaptations and a ballet. . Albert & Charles Boni hardcover books
193120127Garden City NY: Doubleday Doran & Company Inc. Near Fine in Very Good dj. 1931. First American Edition. Hardcover. price-clipped minimal shelfwear light dust-soiling/spotting to top edge; jacket browned/discolored/faded at spine otherwise just lightly worn and quite attractive Novel about "the darling of the Paris music halls" miserable in her marriage to an unfaithful fop of a husband and her passionate love for "a big simple straightforward landholder from the provinces." Ah it's always the big simple straightforward ones isn't it Especially if they're landholders. The novel based on Colette's own experiences was originally published as "La Vagabonde" in France in 1910 and was adapted into a 1918 silent film "La Vagabonda." Critic James Hopkin celebrated the book's centenary in a rhapsodic 2011 article in The Guardian praising its "energy and inventiveness" and calling it "a rousing novel of love and guile of vulnerability and vituperative wit of poetry and self-empowerment a slim volume scored with little wisdoms sumptuous descriptions and the 'heroic vanity' of an unforgettable cast." Jacketed copies of the original American editions of Colette's novels are all quite scarce. . Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc. hardcover books
