Ces morceaux choisis de la vie parisienne plongent le lecteur dans une époque en apparence insouciante [dos de couverture]
Colette was the pen name of the French novelist and actress Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette. She is best known, at least in the English-speaking world, for her novella Gigi, which provided the plot for a famous Lerner & Loewe musical film and stage musical. She started her writing career penning the influential Claudine novels of books. The novel Chéri is often cited as her masterpiece.
Loved it, filled with adventures and a new way of seeing things. Very well written, this is not a book with one story, this is a collection of articles wrote by Colette for the newspaper Le Matin between 1911 and 1914.
