Colette translated by Janet Flanner
Chéri
New York: Albert & Charles Boni. Very Good. 1929. First American Edition. Hardcover Second Printing. no dust jacket light bumping to bottom corners spine cloth a little sun-browned overall a good solid clean copy; bookplate of longtime MGM writer/producer Carey Wilson on front pastedown. B&W illustrations Originally published in France in 1920 this was the first of Colette's novels to appear in America and it set off something of a vogue for her work which lasted until roughly the mid-1930s. It's the story of a gigolo which playwright-journalist Lewis Galantière called "a brilliant work of character portrayal tragic in its implications but on the surface a comedy in a genre new to us and full of a slightly macabre fascination." The first film version was a French production released in 1950 directed by Pierre Billon; more recently Stephen Frears directed an adaptation in 2009 from a screenplay by Christopher Hampton starring Rupert Friend and Michelle Pfeiffer. The novel has also served as the basis for a couple of TV adaptations and a ballet. . Albert & Charles Boni hardcover books

Loos Anita; dramatized from the novel by Colette
Gigi
New York: Random House. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1952. First Edition. Hardcover. some wear to top and bottom edges of covers otherwise a nice clean copy; jacket has a bit of light soiling tiny stain on rear panel. B&W photographs "The first non-musical hit of the season" reads the first jacket blurb -- so of course when Hollywood got around to it the first thing they thought was "hey this thing could really use some songs!" Not a bad decision though since the resulting film managed to not only get past the censors who were concerned because lovely young Gigi was after all "in training" to be a high-class courtesan but also to take home the "Best Picture" Oscar for 1958. The novel was originally published in 1944 and had been filmed in France in 1948. The Broadway version made a star of Audrey Hepburn who is featured in all three of the photographs in this edition but of course they hadda get a real French girl Leslie Caron for the movie. .

Colette translated from the French by Charlotte Remfry Kidd
Renée La Vagabonde
Garden City NY: Doubleday Doran & Company Inc. Near Fine in Very Good dj. 1931. First American Edition. Hardcover. price-clipped minimal shelfwear light dust-soiling/spotting to top edge; jacket browned/discolored/faded at spine otherwise just lightly worn and quite attractive Novel about "the darling of the Paris music halls" miserable in her marriage to an unfaithful fop of a husband and her passionate love for "a big simple straightforward landholder from the provinces." Ah it's always the big simple straightforward ones isn't it Especially if they're landholders. The novel based on Colette's own experiences was originally published as "La Vagabonde" in France in 1910 and was adapted into a 1918 silent film "La Vagabonda." Critic James Hopkin celebrated the book's centenary in a rhapsodic 2011 article in The Guardian praising its "energy and inventiveness" and calling it "a rousing novel of love and guile of vulnerability and vituperative wit of poetry and self-empowerment a slim volume scored with little wisdoms sumptuous descriptions and the 'heroic vanity' of an unforgettable cast." Jacketed copies of the original American editions of Colette's novels are all quite scarce. . Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc. hardcover books
