CLAUDINE MARRIED
N.Y. Farrar, Straus and Cudahy 1960. F. Hardcover. / Dust Jacket Included. Item #000310
Fine in a good dust jacket/brodart covered. A fine tight copy in a good dust jacket that has been soiled by sun and several chips to the top and corners of dust jacket. The present volume, whose contents would surely be shocking were any hand other than Colett's responsible, takes up shortly after Claudine's marriage to Renaud, a charming man about town old enough to her father. Transplanted not only from her beloved Montigny, but from Papa, Melie the housekeeper, and Fanchette, here white cat, as well, it is natural that the young bride should fall under the spell of a beautiful, unhappily married woman experienced in extramarital adventures of a variety of types. What follows, however, may strike us as far from conventional: yet somehow Colette steers us through the sea of ever thickening, ever more complex, amorous entanglements. When we finally land on the good clean earthof Montigny, everything is all right again-Claudine is an inch tller, years wiser, and more than ever like the magnificent person who conceived her. First Printing edition.
