Set in the Parisian demimonde in the last days of the Belle Époque, \u003ci\u003eChéri\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of Léa, a courtesan at the end of a successful career, and her lover, the beautiful but emotionally opaque Chéri. Chéri will soon enter into an arranged marriage, ending their six-year affair, which—they will each realize too late—has been the one real love of their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe End of Chéri\u003c\/i\u003e picks up their story in the aftermath of the First World War. Chéri, now a decorated soldier, has returned from the trenches to a changed world. Emotionally estranged from his independent and unfaithful wife, a psychically wounded Chéri begins an inexorable descent—one that leads him back to a stunning encounter with Léa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the acclaimed writer and translator Lydia Davis puts it in an illuminating foreword, Rachel Careau’s “brilliantly ingenious, close new translation” reveals \u003ci\u003eChéri\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe End of Chéri\u003c\/i\u003e as “the strangest of love stories.” Colette skillfully portrays her characters’ shifting inner lives and desires amid a clear-eyed depiction of interpersonal power dynamics. Careau’s lean, attentive translation restores to these classic novels their taut, remarkably modern style—the essence of Colette’s genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp class=\"author_summary\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColette\u003c\/b\u003e (1873–1954) wrote numerous works, including \u003ci\u003eGigi\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Vagabond\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMy Mother’s House\u003c\/i\u003e.
