Sobre este item
Ferenczi, 1955. First edition thus. Softcover. Very Good. Color illustrated softcovers. N.d. (circa 1955). Front cover is a color portrait of Evelyne Ker while the rear cover displays photos of Audrey Hepburn (who played the role on Broadway in 1951) and Ker. Text in French of the story originally written in 1942. Very good or somewhat better, some curling to the edges of the covers. The 1958 American version of the musical was far more successful that the earlier stage verisons; it starred Leslie Caron in the title role (after Hepburn turned it down), Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jordan, and Hermione Gingold and it won 9 Academy Awards including Best Picture.
Sinopse
'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.
