SECRETS OF THE FLESH（ISBN=9780345371034） 英文原版 fb2 pdf azw3 网盘 rtf 免费 下载 txt

A scandalously talented stage performer, a practiced seductress

of both men and women, and the flamboyant author of some of the

greatest works of twentieth-century literature, Colette was our

first true superstar. Now, in Judith Thurman's Secrets of the

Flesh, Colette at last has a biography worthy of her dazzling

reputation.

Having spent her childhood in the shadow of an

overpowering mother, Colette escaped at age twenty into a turbulent

marriage with the sexy, unscrupulous Willy--a literary charlatan

who took credit for her bestselling Claudine novels. Weary of

Willy's sexual domination, Colette pursued an extremely public

lesbian love affair with a niece of Napoleon's. At forty, she gave

birth to a daughter who bored her, at forty-seven she seduced her

teenage stepson, and in her seventies she flirted with the Nazi

occupiers of Paris, even though her beloved third husband, a Jew,

had been arrested by the Gestapo. And all the while, this

incomparable woman poured forth a torrent of masterpieces,

including Gigi, Sido, Cheri, and Break of Day.

Judith Thurman, author of the National Book

Award-winning biography of Isak Dinesen, portrays Colette as a

thoroughly modern woman: frank in her desires, fierce in her

passions, forever reinventing herself. Rich with delicious gossip

and intimate revelations, shimmering with grace and intelligence,

Secrets of the Flesh is one of the great biographies of our

time.
