Description

Chéri by Colette translated by Roger Senhouse

This is Colette’s masterpiece. Set in the ‘demi-monde’ of the Parisian courtesans before World War One, it tells the story of Lea an aging courtesan who has for a number of years been teaching Frederic Pelous (Cheri) a handsome, spoilt, sardonic young man about love. But when Cheri’s mother also a courtesan finds her son a wealthy bride, Lea breaks off their relationship. But Cheri is haunted by memories of Lea and feeling alienated from his wife, family and surroundings; he retracts into a fantasy world, where there is only one route of escape.
