'I was an independent, stray dog who answered to no one...'Claudine lives in a large house with a rose-filled garden and a vegetable patch smelling of tomato leaves and apricots. Beyond her house is the village, where travelling performers stop for the night and wedding feasts take place under a bright summer moon. Inside her house are Mama, who loves animals, and Papa, who lost his leg in the war, and a library full of forbidden and irresistible books... Based on Colette's own early life, Claudine's House is a rich and enchanting depiction of childhood, animals, flowers, trees, books, families and love in late-nineteenth-century France.
Biography (Colette)
Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954) galt in Deutschland lange als Unterhaltungsautorin, deren Bücher von Eltern und ihren pubertierenden Kindern wegen der "frivolen" Stellen geschätzt wurden. In Frankreich dagegen wurde Colette bereits zu Lebzeiten als Schriftstellerin anerkannt und zur ersten weiblichen Präsidentin der Académie Goncourt berufen. Marcel Proust nannte sie "das menschlichste Herz in der modernen französischen Literatur".
