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
