Claudine

Diese Reihe scharfzüngiger, leicht skandalöser Romane begleitet das Erwachsenwerden und die frühe Reife einer jungen Frau zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Autorin erforscht ihre ersten Erfahrungen mit Liebe, Unabhängigkeit und der Suche nach der eigenen Identität mit bemerkenswerter Leichtigkeit und tiefem Einblick. Die Geschichten fangen die Lebenskraft und den unerschöpflichen Optimismus einer Heldin ein, die zu einer Ikone ihrer Zeit wurde.

    Claudine And Annie
  5. 5

    In the last in the series of Colette's Claudine books, we find Claudine separated from her tubercular husband, Renaud, who is recuperating in a Swiss hospital. She goes to the countryside to stay with her friend, Annie, and experiences relief from her depression in the pleasures of the natural world-- and in encouraging her friend to have an affair. RETREAT FROM LOVE was written a few years after the four original Claudine tales, and rumor has it that Colette wrote it to have a small revenge on her first husband, Monsieur Willy, on whom Renaud (who dies in the end) was apparently based.

    La retraite sentimentale
  • Colette, prodded by her first husband, Willy, began her writing career with Claudine at School, which catapulted the young author into instant, sensational success. Among the most autobiographical of Colette's works, these four novels are dominated by the child-woman Claudine, whose strength, humor, and zest for living make her seem almost a symbol for the life force.Janet Flanner described these books as "amazing writing on the almost girlish search for the absolute of happiness in physical love . . . recorded by a literary brain always wide awake on the pillow."
