The Vagabond
Autor Colette Traducere de Belinda Jacken Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 mar 2027
""The Vagabond, " one of the first and best feminist novels ever written, is that rare thing: a great book which is also inspiring," declared Erica Jong. This vivid portrait of life in the Parisian music halls of the early twentieth century was drawn from the author's personal experiences. Colette's 1910 novel mirrors her own adventures as an itinerantdancer as well as herstruggles to maintain a balance betweensocial respectability and artistic freedom. This edition features an authoritative new translation of her story as well as an informative Introduction by Stanley Appelbaum."

Notă biografică
Colette (Author)
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.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Nothing is real except the dance, the light, the freedom, the music.'Colette's semi-autobiographical novel The Vagabond (1910) follows thirty-three-year-old Renée Néré as she embarks on a stage career after a divorce from philandering ex-husband, painter Adolphe Taillandy. Unlike the earlier Claudine series, which began as a collaboration between Colette and her first husband, Colette worked alone on The Vagabond to create a leading lady navigating the Parisian working world on her own terms. The music hall performers are Renée's familiars and confidants, her fellow vagabonds; for the first time, the reader is offered a look behind the scenes from a woman's perspective, a view enabled by Colette's own simultaneous experience as writer and dancer. Unambiguously feminist and unabashedly sensual, The Vagabond established Colette as a serious novelist, showcasing her talent as an observer of the natural world and a painter of the beauty of the human form.Frances Egan's new translation provides a fresh take on Colette's voice, offering a highly readable text which pulls readers into Renée's world, while preserving as much of the original context as possible to bring Paris, the music hall, and its crew of vagabonds, to life. Attention is paid to Colette's depiction of class, race, and gender. Helen Southworth's in-depth introduction places the book in the context of Colette's life, offers background on Belle Epoque theatre and feminisms, and traces its reception and its importance to readers from Colette's time to our own. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around theglobe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of othervaluable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies forfurther study, and much more.
