Reader's note

Colette’s first book was published in 1900. Chéri published in 1920, is certainly her most famous and perhaps demi-mode of the wealthy Parisian courtesans of Edwardian days, handsome as the devil, capricious, the spoilt darling of a far from conventional set, at a tender age is handed over by his mother. - ‘lent’ his mistress prefers to term it - to the care of her accomplished friend Lea de Lonval. Lea is adorable. Her tragedy is to allow her compassion to turn into love for the boy who so recklessly lives at her expense. After six years in her loving arms, trained to the accepted code of amorous adventure, Chéri is naturally unfitted for married life. The ironical fact that his chosen bride is the daughter of one of her greatest rivals adds pathos to Leas tender resignation, and the closing scene of the novel is justly famous. The sequel is Chéri’s tragedy. A minor hero of the war, which has accustomed him to solitude, he finds it impossible to settle down to a new life among his go-getting friends. Haunted by memories of his care-free, love-lavished youth and the bounty of his benevolent mistress, he falls into steady decline.
