Cheri
"Chéri" is a masterful exploration of the complexities of love, vanity, and the inevitable passage of time within the high-society circles of early 20th-century France. Set against the backdrop of the Belle Époque, the novel delves into the intense and unconventional relationship between Léa de Lonval, a refined and aging courtesan, and Fred Peloux, the beautiful yet aimless young man she has mentored and loved for years. As Chéri prepares to enter a conventional marriage of convenience, the fragile equilibrium of their bond is shattered. Colette's evocative prose captures the opulent world of the Parisian demi-monde with extraordinary sensory detail and psychological insight. The narrative examines the pain of aging and the struggle to let go of youth, portraying its characters with a blend of unsentimental realism and profound empathy. Renowned for its nuanced portrayal of female desire and its sharp social observation, "Chéri" remains a definitive work of French literature. This story of passion and disillusionment highlights Colette's unique ability to transform the intimate details of the human heart into a timeless literary achievement.

Paris Journal 1965-1970
Janet Flanner's Paris Journal is drawn from the author's celebrated "Letter from Paris, " a series that appeared in the New Yorker from 1925 to 1975 over the signature "Genet." In this volume of her journal, Miss Flanner records the social, political, and cultural upheaval of the late 1960s, ending her entries with the death of Charles de Gaulle in 1970. Through Flanner's Journal readers witness the student rebellions of 1968, learn of French concern over the American involvement in Vietnam, and visit the winter Olympic games in Grenoble. Paris reacts to the passing of Alice B. Toklas, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Winston Churchill; Samuel Beckett wins the Nobel Prize; Henri Cartier-Bresson mounts a landmark exhibition; the French issue a new five-franc note; and the horror film is the latest rage in Paris. Miss Flanner's record of this period is unmatched for its intelligence, authenticity, and elegance of style.Born in Indianapolis in 1892, Janet Flanner became the Paris correspondent for the New Yorker in 1925 -- its first year of publication. Miss Flanner spent the last few years of her life in New York, where she died in 1978. Her Paris Journal covering the years 1944 to 1965 received the National Book Award.

Darlinghissima
Janet Flanner's letters from Paris, written for the New Yorker under the pen name Genet, were widely read over a fifty-year span, which began shortly after the magazine's founding and continued until her retirement in 1975. Her crisp, elegant, and authoritative observations on European cultural, social, and political life made her one of the most respected journalists of her day. Now, through the hundreds of letters she wrote to her intimate friend, Natalia Danesi Murray, the witty and tender spirit behind her impersonal style for the New Yorker emerges in correspondence between two women from two different cultures living on two continents, yet entirely devoted to each other. The record of this extraordinary friendship has been amplified by Mrs. Murray's moving narrative of their life together and apart, revealing a gifted, loving, and noble individual who left an indelible image of a fascinating era.
