Chéri heißt der verführerisch schöne junge Mann, der auf die erfahrene und um mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte ältere Léa so außerordentlich anziehend wirkt. Seit sechs Jahren sind sie zusammen. Eine Beziehung, die Léa, lebensklug und aufrichtig, auch schon mal als Adoption bezeichnet. Da eröffnet ihr Chéri, dass er bald heiraten werde. Wunderbar direkt erzählt Colette von der Liebesverstrickung einer Frau, die auf dreißig Jahre eines leichten, reizenden, oft verliebten, zuweilen gierigen Lebens zurückblickt und sich auf einmal dem ersten großen Schmerz ausgeliefert sieht, der Trennung von jenem schönen Dämon, die für sie zum Abschied von der Jugend und der verführerischen Ausstrahlung ihrer Weiblichkeit wird. - 2 berühmte Colette-Romane (Start: 27.8.2009) von Stephen - "Cherie" und "Cheries Ende" - sind die Vorlagen zum Film von StephenFrears, mit Michelle Pfeiffer, Rupert Friend und Kathy Bates in den Hauptrollen.

"She kept her birth date a secret; but she freely admitted, letting fall on Chéri a look of voluptuous condescension, that she was reaching the age where she was due some small pleasures. She loved order, beautiful linens, mature wines, well-thought-out meals."
From this moment, I was hooked. Having never actually read any of Collette's work before I did not know what to expect. What I found in these pages were attitudes and feelings that seemed to address the point I am at in my life. While I cannot directly identify with the actions of Lea in these novels, I can understand reaching a point where being somewhat settled in life is as comfortable as a large bed. In addition, I think that these two novels need to be read together as they definitely bookend the story of Cheri and Lea.
In the edition, that I read there was a prologue that debated the translations of this novel as completed by Roger Senhouse. I think there is potentially an argument to be made that a male translator may not be able to recreate the subtlety of a text written by a woman. I do wonder how this particular translation would compare to his and may take the time at some point to look into that.
In the meantime, I have found a new (to me) author and look forward to exploring more of her writing. The only thing that might be better is if I had continued to study French so that I would not have to rely on translations to read these texts. ( )
Can we die of love? Or because we realize we threw it away and there will never be another? Colette knows more about love than anyone (and knows it is an art) and much of what she writes about in her novels is really about herself, her lovers, and her friends. ( )
This was probably one of the most brilliant books I have ever read. Age; it is the most hauntingly beautiful theme within this novel. From the pearl necklace to the dress--the shade of white, the absence of color symbolizes the idea of youth. This novel certainly wells up emotion as you witness this tragic romance through a jeweled lens. ( )
I only read Cheri. It is the story of a woman and her younger paramour. She is approaching middle age and must relinquish her lover to his marriage. It is likely the last such relationship she will have, given her age. Separation is very painful for each of them. This is a very rich depiction of middle-age desire and its complications. I will probably return to the End of Cheri at a later date. ( )

Lea let the curtain fall back into place; but already she had seen Cheri throw back his head, look up at the spring sky and the chestnut trees in flower, and fill his lungs with the fresh air, like a man escaping from prison.
But she still had time to see that Cheri was lifting his head up to the spring sky and the chestnut trees loaded with blossoms; and that, as he walked, he was filling his lungs with air like an escapee. (Cheri)
So he did hurry, and emitted a few stifled groans of complaint over the task, because his right arm, crushed under his body, was bothering him, and he knew nothing more of life past a pressure of his index finger on a little protrusion of finely ridged steel. (The End of Cheri)
