Produktbeschreibung

In "Claudine in Paris," Colette invites readers into the vibrant and often tumultuous world of adolescence, where youthful exuberance meets the complexities of adult society. The novel captures Claudine's adventures in the Parisian backdrop, employing a richly descriptive literary style that intertwines playful language with poignant observations. As part of the emerging modernist literature of the early 20th century, Colette's narrative delves into themes of identity, sexual awakening, and societal expectations, reflecting both a personal and collective journey toward self-discovery. Colette, a prominent figure in French literature, was influenced by her own unconventional upbringing and experiences as a woman in a patriarchal society. Her intimate knowledge of female desire and the intricacies of human relationships inform Claudine's character, drawing parallels between Colette's life and the protagonist's journey. Colette's bold narrative voice seeks to challenge societal norms, illuminating the often-overlooked struggles of femininity and independence in a transforming world. "Claudine in Paris" is a must-read for anyone captivated by richly drawn characters and explorations of personal identity. Readers will find themselves engrossed in the layers of emotion and humor that Colette masterfully weaves into Claudine's journey, making this novel an essential addition to any literary collection.

Autorenporträt

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 Académie Goncourt, and when she died, aged 81, she was given a state funeral and buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.
