Chéri Série
Tato série se ponoří do vášnivého, avšak pomíjivého vztahu mezi mladým mužem a starší ženou. S něžnou upřímností a soucitným vhledem zkoumá složitost touhy, lásky a stárnutí. Autorka mistrovsky vykresluje portréty postav s impresionistickým stylem, který odhaluje hluboké lidské emoce a znepokojení spojené s mládím a středním věkem.

This is Colette's famous love story about the romance between an older woman and a younger man. Léa de Lonval is a magnificent and aging courtesan facing the end of her career. She has devoted the last six years to the amorous education of the exquisitely handsome and spoilt Chéri - a playboy half her age. When an advantageous marriage is arranged for Chéri, Léa reluctantly decides their relationship must end. But neither lover can foresee how deeply they are connected, or how much they will have to give up. First published in 1920, it was instantly greeted by Marcel Proust and André Gide as a masterpiece.

Chéri, together with The Last of Chéri, is a classic story of a love affair between a very young man and a charming older woman. The amour between Fred Peloux, the beautiful gigolo known as Chéri, and the courtesan Léa de Lonval tenderly depicts the devotion that stems from desire, and is an honest account of the most human preoccupations of youth and middle age. With compassionate insight Colette paints a full-length double portrait using an impressionistic style all her own.
