1904#17<p>Colette<br />Dialogues de bêtes<br />Paris Société du Mercure de France 1904.<br /><br />Square 12mo. Half red morocco with bands spine with raised bands highlighted with gilt and blind fillets. Top edge gilt. Original wrappers and spine preserved.<br /><br />First edition of the ordinary issue following only 19 copies on Holland paper.<br /><br />Copy enriched with a first autograph inscription signed in black ink on the first leaf traducted in English :<br /><br />"To Gaston Carraud<br />in friendly remembrance from<br />the author<br />Colette Willy."<br /><br />Followed by a second autograph inscription signed in blue ink on the same leaf:<br /><br />"To you now<br />dear Philippe Hériat<br />in memory of a cat and a dog<br />who have become ghosts<br />and of a young woman who has<br />become an old writer<br />Colette."<br /><br />An exceptional testimony to Colette's emancipation embodied in these two inscriptions separated by more than thirty years.<br /><br />Dialogues de bêtes is the first work by Colette to appear after the Claudine series published under the name of her husband Henri Gauthier-Villars. For the first time Colette allowed her own name to appear on the cover signing "Colette Willy."<br /><br />This text marks the beginning of her gradual literary emancipation although it is preceded by the dedication "Pour amuser Willy." In Mes Apprentissages 1936 she would write: "I was vaguely awakening to a duty toward myself—to write something other than the Claudine books. And drop by drop I exuded the Dialogues de bêtes."<br /><br />The 1904 first edition contains four dialogues to which eight more were added in 1905 and 1930 forming the definitive edition. The anthropomorphic characters Toby-Chien and Kiki-la-Doucette were warmly received and remain among the most emblematic features of her work.<br /><br />The particular value of this copy lies in the author's double inscription. Everything contributes to making it a singular witness to Colette's emancipation beginning with the recipients themselves.<br /><br />The first inscription is addressed to Gaston Carraud a composer and mutual acquaintance of the Gauthier-Villars couple while the second is addressed to Philippe Hériat whom Colette likely met in the 1930s when he played a role in Divine 1935 a film whose screenplay and dialogue were written by Colette after L'Envers du music-hall.<br /><br />The signatures themselves are also significant: the first inscription is signed "Colette Willy" a form the author used more or less regularly until 1923 after which she signed only her own name as seen in the second inscription.<br /><br />Even the ink used offers a subtle echo: first black ink then blue—this blue so dear to Colette the blue of Le Fanal bleu which appeared even in her inkwell and on her writing paper.<br /><br />The inscriptions are dated in pencil likely in Philippe Hériat's hand "1904" and "1938."<br /><br />An entire writer's life separates these two inscriptions by Colette in the same copy.</p> Mercure de France
