Colette is best known in the English-speaking world for her 1944 novella Gigi, which was the basis for the 1958 film and the 1973 stage production of the same name. Her short story collection The Tendrils of the Vine is also well regarded, especially in France. In 1948, she was nominated by Claude Farrà re for the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was frequently acclaimed as France's greatest woman writer. [Wiki].

Not surprising, their marriage went unconsummated and was annulled in 1892. One year later, Winnaretta married Prince Edmond Melchior Jean Marie de Polignac, an aristocrat and amateur composer 30 years her senior. He was openly gay, and both had a deep passion for music. He died eight years after their marriage, and Winnaretta never remarried although she had plenty of affairs with married women. On one occasion, an enraged husband yelled up at Winnaretta's apartment, ?If you are half the man I think you are, you will come out here and fight me.?Monod , nos. 2982-2985.

This luxurious set, with its smooth paper, excellent printing, pleasing illustrations, and lovely bindings, embodies that French sophistication Colette portrayed so vividly in her writings. (Virginia Woolf complained that just reading Colette made her feel dowdy.) Proclaimed by Britannica "the outstanding French writer of the first half of the 20th century," Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954) published her first novel in 1900, and wrote prolifically for the next half century, amassing an oeuvre of more than 50 novels and scores of short stories and essays. Her writings are notable for their vivid sensual descriptions and for their indomitable female characters. A "New York Times" review observed, "Colette's courtesans don't die of tuberculosis. They guard their jewels and railway shares and, with good humor and a firm hand on the servants, gracefully grow old." Included in our four volumes are the author's most famous novel, "Chéri," its proto-text "Clouk," "Notes Marocaines," "La Decapitée," "En tournée," "Music-Hall," and "Portraits et Paysages." Colette was the first woman to be elected to the Académie Goncourt and the first to serve as its president. Her death did not put an end to her pioneering achievements: she was the first woman in France to be given a state funeral. A French citizen of Belgian origin, the bookbinder Paul Bonet (1889-1971) had been an electrician's apprentice and then a designer of women's dresses, but he was also a bibliophile, and one who was so disappointed by the quality of bookbinding available for his collection that he began to bind books himself. He became the leading bookbinder in France, creating unique and imaginative works of art in a modern idiom, and having a profound influence on the course of bookbinding, particularly on the Continent. In 1971, the prestigious Prix Paul Bonet for outstanding bookbinding was instituted by the Centro del Bel Libro in Ascona, Switzerland, in his honor. At least as important as the books bound with his own hands are the designs he created for bindings executed by others. In "Carnets," Bonet describes the present bindings as "simple and elegant," and notes that his designs were executed by René Desmules and gilded by André Jeanne. Given the inscription and accompanying artwork here, these volumes could well have been commissioned by original owner Jorge Ortiz-Linares, Bolivian ambassador to France, a celebrated collector of French literature, the father of Jaime Ortiz-Patiño (famous in golf and bridge circles), and one of the richest men in the world at the time.
