| Chéri, written by Colette and published in 1920, is one of the most renowned novels by the French author. Set in the Belle Époque era of Paris, the book tells the intricate and ambiguous love story between Léa de Lonval, an aging courtesan, and Chéri, a young, handsome, and spoiled man who is the son of one of Léa’s colleagues. The novel delves into themes such as the passage of time, fleeting beauty, and the power dynamics in romantic relationships. With an elegant and sensual style, Colette vividly portrays the decline of the aristocracy and the end of France’s golden age. *Chéri* offers a penetrating exploration of human psychology, loneliness, and the inevitable fading of passions, all brought to life through Colette’s distinctive narrative voice. |
