Aprašymas

An updated translation of Collette's revolutionary 1922 autobiographical collection that contains six previously untranslated chapters.

This book is a much-needed new translation of Colette's classic La Maison de Claudine. A careful re-reading of the text was long overdue, given Colette's evolution into one of the most admired French novelists in the modern world, the inadequacy of earlier translations, which omitted six significant chapters, and changes in contemporary attitudes on motherhood and sexual orientation. The controversial topic at the center of the novel, her passion for her mother Sido, animates her writing as a whole. As the BBC notes, "The Most Beloved French writer of all time. . . . An icon in her native France, Colette's scandalous life and works still captivate readers 150 years on from her birth, writes John Self."
