Dieser Roman, ein Kleinod im Werk der Colette, wurde nach seinem Erscheinen 1933 in Paris ein großer Erfolg. Die ungewöhnliche Dreiecksgeschichte zwischen einem jungen Paar und einer blaugrauen Kartäuserkatze, einem vollkommenen Geschöpf, ist eine Parabel auf die unzulängliche Natur des Menschen. Mit großer Kennerschaft beschreibt Colette in diesem scharfsinnigen und zauberhaften Roman ein kleines Katzentier, das den Menschen überlegen scheint.

Over 27 million people visited the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. Countless more experienced the fair through the wondrous images of C. D. Arnold, the era's foremost architectural photographer. Through his luminous pictures, Arnold became the event's leading historian, publicist, and visual philosopher. This gallery of Arnold's photographs, painstakingly retouched to achieve a new radiance, presents a magnificent tribute to the "White City" of shining Beaux-Arts buildings.In addition to its visual tour of the Exposition's extensive buildings and grounds, this lavish book also celebrates a city that treasures its architecture. The classical Greek and Roman design expressed by the Chicago World's Fair defined the course of American monumental building for decades to come, and the text accompanying these historic photographs provides fascinating interpretations of the Exposition's influence on American building styles and tastes. From conception to closing day and beyond, Spectacle in the White City offers glimpses of past splendor that will be treasured by Chicagoans, history buffs, and lovers of fine art and photography.

"Eine literarische Entdeckung besonderer Art bietet dieses Buch; die Entdeckung eines längst weltberühmten und vielgeliebten Meisterwerks der klassischen Moderne. Die Lektüre läßt den Reiz und den Rang einer Prosadichtung eigener Art erahnen, deren Originaltext - wie Luis Cernuda schrieb - ein Sprachkunstwerk von »einzigartiger Frische und Lebendigkeit des Ausdrucks« ist: «Das andalusische Ambiente hat sich wohl selten mit soviel dichterischer Wahrheit offenbart . . .«"
