Présentation de l'éditeur
'Love, one of the great commonplaces of existence, is slowly leaving mine.' Colette wrote this line for the prose poem which became 'Break of Day'. It appears to be a slice of autobiography: a woman called Colette passes a summer in Provence, contemplating her past, laying plans for a future which may not include sexual love. Colette's 'real life' weaves in and out of pages which shine with some of the most moving and lyrical lines she ever wrote. But she added an epigraph: 'Are you imagining, as you read me, that I am portraying myself? Have patience: this is merely my model.' 'Break of Day' shares much of the reality of Colette, but in it she has shown the true power of her writing in perhaps her most original novel of all.
Biographie de l'auteur
French novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873 -1954), is best known for her novel 'Gigi', upon which the stage and film musical comedies by Lerner & Loewe, of the same title, were based. She led a highly dramatic and colourful life, embracing three marriages and numerous affairs with men and women, including her step-son, and sheltering her Jewish husband and friends during the German occupation of Paris.

Softcover. Etat : Good. Colette began writing <i>Break of Day</i> in her early fifties, at Saint-Tropez on the Cte d'Azur, where she had bought a small house after the breakup of her second marriage. The novel's theme--the renunciation of love and the return to an independent existence supported and enriched by the beauty and peace of nature--grows out of Colette's own period of self-assessment in the middle of her life. A collection of subtle reflections about love and life, it is among her most thoughtful and stylistically bold works. N° de réf. du vendeur SONG1907429514
