Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Colette is a kind of corsetiere of love. This most French of all French writers tells us how love sometimes binds and keeps a woman from breathing freely or how it may shape and support her and help her to be beautiful . . . One thinks of her as the female voice of Paris . . . It's as if all the house fronts of Paris were cut away and we could see men and women talking, dressing, brooding, loving." --Anatole Broyard, The New York Times

"This large collection of her stories allows us to share her exhilaration and to sample the pleasure of her prose . . . no other woman seems to have had as much lived experience to draw upon or as much sexual sophistication . . . The voice of worldly feminine wisdom runs through her stories." --Phyllis Rose, The New York Times Book Review

"Like a table spread with the fruit and wine she celebrated in her books: 'Late-ripening cherries, rosy peaches, thin-skinned Marseilles figs, misty hot-house grapes and champagne shuddering in carafes of heavy crystal.' A sumptuous display." --Patricia Blake, Time

Reseña del editor:

This comprehensive collection of one hundred short stories by the French writer ranges from a short fable to a novella and includes such popular masterpieces as "Bella-Vista" and "The Tender Shoot"
