116933Paris Vialetay 1952. 187 pages. 2 feuillets. 265x18 Cm. En feuilles sous couverture crème imprimée en violet. Etui et emboîtage. Colette 1873-1954 née à Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye est une figure majeure de la littérature française du début du XXe siècle explorant avec finesse les thèmes de la sensualité et des relations amoureuses dans un contexte social bourgeois en mutation. Ce roman met en scène un jeune homme mûrissant sous le regard amoureux et possessif de sa maîtresse capturant les nuances psychologiques et sensorielles d'un univers intime parisien. Illustré de pointes-sèches originales par Grau Sala cet exemplaire de 1952 témoigne de l'intérêt bibliophilique pour les éditions de luxe associant texte et gravure au lendemain de la guerre. L'uvre s'inscrit dans l'uvre romanesque de l'auteur nourri de son expérience autobiographique et de son regard acéré sur les murs de l'époque. L'un des cent-cinquante exemplaires sur papier de Rives sur un tirage total de trois cent six exemplaires avec la signature de Grau Sala. Contenu d'une grande fraîcheur. (Paris), Vialetay, 1952. unknown

Front free end-paper with a four-line inscription for "René Baer" signed "Colette de Jouvenel". <br/><br/><em>First edition - presentation-copy and one of 175 numbered copies on Hollande premier papier out of a total of 725 numbered copies - of Colette's fascinating novel "Chéri" published at the dawn of the roaring 20'ies. The scandalous novel which portrays the love between an older woman and a much younger man is partly inspired by Colette's own life and is considered one of her very best works. Extremely controversial as a person Colette has always been the object of fascination as well as controversy. In 1893 she married Henry Gauthier-Villars who was already a famous author and publisher. He used the pen-name "Willy" under which Colette's famous first novels the Claudine-stories also appeared. Colette and Willy separated in 1906 with a final divorce in 1910. Colette is well known for the series of lesbian relationships she embarked upon after her separation. In 1912 however she married Henry de Jouvenel editor of Le Matin and took his name. Not for her publications but she clearly used it in her personal correspondence. Their marriage ended in divorce in 1924 however due partly to her affair with her 16-year-old stepson Bertrand de Jouvenel. Chéri is partly based upon her experiences with her much younger stepson. " 'Me a feminist' She scoffed in 1910. 'I'll tell you what the suffragettes deserve: the whip and the harem'. COLETTE is an intriguing and flamboyant figure. Born in Burgundy in 1873 she moved to Paris at the age of twenty with her husband the writer and critic Henry Gauthiers-Viller Willy. Forcing Colette to write Willy published her novels in his name and the Claudine series became an instant success. She escaped her exploitative first husband to live by her pen and work in music-halls as a dancer. Colette had a lesbian love affair with a niece of Napoleon's she married three times had a baby at 40 and at 47 preferring 'passion to goodness' she seduced her teenage stepson. In the meantime she wrote stunning novels that were admired by Proust and Gide -- Gigi Sido Cheri and Break of Day. Colette lived to be over 80. She was the first woman President of the Academie Goncourt and was the first woman in France to be accorded a state funeral." "Colette in full Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette 1873 - 1954 outstanding French writer of the first half of the 20th century whose best novels largely concerned with the pains and pleasures of love are remarkable for their command of sensual description. Her greatest strength as a writer is an exact sensory evocation of sounds smells tastes textures and colours of her world. Her best work was produced after 1920 and followed two veins. The first vein followed the lives of the slightly depraved postwar younger generation. Among these novels are Chéri 1920 and La Fin de Chéri 1926; The Last of Chéri dealing with a liaison between a young man Chéri and an older woman. Encycl. Britt. René Baer 1887 - 1962 was a famous French author journalist playwright and songwriter. Georges Leroux 1922-1999 was one of the most accomplished and esteemed French binders of the twentieth century. Before he became a book binder in 1959 he was a poet. His works are known for their exotic materials use of metallic effects and strong polychromatic color. </em> hardcover
