Recenzii
A ferociously intelligent, masterful life of Colette, which stays supremely in control of her wild, bold, brilliant and often obnoxious subject
[An] essential biography by a stylish writer of great sympathetic understanding and intellectual authority
The most distinguished biography of the year
A fine and intelligent biography of Colette, with her long tumultuous life and the great body of her work scrupulously considered and presented with style
[Colette] has been the subject of . . . a half-dozen significant biographies over the past thirty years. Yet this one by Judith Thurman will be hard to top. . . . Its prose is smoothly urbane, at times aphoristic, always captivating
It will stand as literature in its own right

Descriere
Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette arrived in Paris around 1900 as the provincial child bride of a notorious rake and brilliant literary impressario, Willy, who signed her novels, the "Claudines", as his own. When this tumultuous marriage ended, Colette went off with a high-born woman lover and embarked on a flamboyant stage career. This is her story.
