And above, for the word alone, it adds very judiciously in order to complete its meaning: A lone, one who is without company, who is not with others. And that is all, no comment, no explanation, no distinction, nothing to indicate that it expresses one of the most detestable torments of existence; nothing suggestive of degrees, nothing to show that there is solitude, and solitude, and that the most cruel is not that of the Carthusian monks in their cells of five feet square, in whose silence and gloom they have chosen to live; not even that of the Trappists in the little garden where they dig their graves from one years end to another while exchanging encouraging words; but mine, that of Colette d Erlange, who has not chosen her life, and who is almost desirous of no longer enduring it! .. .A lone at eighteen years of age, with a brain full of ideas, and not a possibility of making them known to a single living ear; alone to laugh, alone to weep, and alone to fall into a passion; it is enough to make one lose ones mind. .. .D uring the summer, and even the autumn indeed, it was supportable :the trees and the flowers say and know much more than many people suppose.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows the author, a young woman named Colette, who, in the late 1800s, was exiled to her late grandmother's dilapidated castle in the French countryside. The author describes her struggle with loneliness and isolation in the castle, her coming-of-age, and her hopes and fears as she dreams of falling in love. Through her use of storytelling and detailed accounts of her experiences, the author analyzes various themes. Among these themes are the nature of love, the challenges women face in finding their place in the world, the importance of self-discovery, the chain of repression women can impose on each other, and the relationship between personal liberation and class privilege. The author's eloquent writing style and reflections on the human condition make this book a poignant and thought-provoking read.
