Cheri and the Last of Cheri -- Colette

<p><b>Two volumes of Colette's most beloved works, with a new Introduction by Judith Thurman.</b> <p/><i>Ch ri</i>, together with <i>The Last of </i><i>Ch ri</i>, is a classic story of a love affair between a very young man and a charming older woman. The amour between Fred Peloux, the beautiful gigolo known as Ch ri, and the courtesan L a de Lonval tenderly depicts the devotion that stems from desire, and is an honest account of the most human preoccupations of youth and middle age. With compassionate insight Colette paints a full-length double portrait using an impressionistic style all her own.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Colette<br><b>Publisher:</b> Farrar, Straus and Giroux<br><b>Published:</b> 10/10/2001<br><b>Pages:</b> 320<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.65lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780374528010<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Reference and Research Bk News</i> 11/01/2001 pg. 222<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Born in 1873 in France, <b>Colette </b>was the author of many acclaimed novels noted for their intimate style.
