Klappentext
Colette, the creator of Claudine, Cheri and Gigi, and one of France s outstanding writers, had a long, varied and active life. She was born in Burgundy on 1873 into a home overflowing with dogs, cats and children, and educated at the local village school. At the age of twenty she moved to Paris with her first husband, the notorious writer and critic Henry Gauthiers-Viller (Willy). By locking her in her room, Willy forced Collette to write her first novels (the Claudine sequence), which he published under his name. They were an instant success. Colettte left Willy in 1906 and worked in music-halls as an actor and dancer. She had a love affair with Napoleon s niece, married twice more, had a baby at 40 and at 47. Her writing, which included novels, portraits, essays and a large body of autobiographical prose, was admired by Proust and Gide. She was the first woman President of the Acad e Goncourt, and when she died, aged 81, she was given a state funeral and buried in P Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.Biografie
Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954) galt in Deutschland lange als Unterhaltungsautorin, deren Bücher von Eltern und ihren pubertierenden Kindern wegen der "frivolen" Stellen geschätzt wurden. In Frankreich dagegen wurde Colette bereits zu Lebzeiten als Schriftstellerin anerkannt und zur ersten weiblichen Präsidentin der Académie Goncourt berufen. Marcel Proust nannte sie "das menschlichste Herz in der modernen französischen Literatur". Colette
