Publisher's Synopsis
Cheri By Colette Léa de Lonval, une courtisane de près de cinquante ans, est la maîtresse de Fred Peloux, appelé Chéri. À mesure qu'elle éprouve le manque de conviction croissant de son jeune amant, Léa ressent, avec un émerveillement désenchanté et la lucidité de l'amertume, les moindres effets d'une passion qui sera la dernière. Pourtant il suffira à Chéri d'épouser la jeune et tendre Edmée pour comprendre que la rupture avec Léa ne va pas sans regrets. La peinture narquoise d'un certain milieu mondain, l'analyse subtile de l'âme féminine, les charmes cruels de la séduction, l'humour un peu triste de la romancière font de Chéri une des oeuvres les plus attachantes et les plus célèbres de Colette. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
