Claudine's House
Autor Colette Traducere de Belinda Jacken Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 aug 2026
'I will never be able to help anyone imagine the splendour, bound up in my memories'
Claudine lives in a large house with a rose-filled garden and a vegetable patch smelling of tomato leaves and apricots. Beyond it is the village, where travelling performers stop for the night and wedding feasts take place under a bright summer moon. Inside her house are Mama, who loves animals, Papa, who lost his leg in the war, and a library full of irresistible books. Based on Colette's own early life, Claudine's House is a vivid, enchanting depiction of childhood, memory and the passing of time in late-nineteenth-century France.
'Her sensual prose style made her one of the great writers of twentieth-century France' New York Times Book Review

Notă biografică
Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette was born in 1873 in a village in Burgundy, France, and would later recall her bucolic home and eccentric family in the semi-fictionalized Claudine's House. At the age of twenty, she married the publisher and author 'Willy', who encouraged her to write her first four novels. The novels made her famous, but her husband, under whose name they had been published, retained her earnings. Escaping her marriage, Colette became a performer in France's music halls, an era of her life she would later describe in The Vagabond. She wrote her most famous works during the 1920s and 30s; these included Chéri, depicting a relationship between an older woman and young man, and Gigi, the story of a young girl in training to become a courtesan. Colette died in 1954.
