| Summary | “Chéri” by Colette is a novel written in the early 20th century. It explores the complex relationship between Léa, a retired courtesan, and Chéri, a handsome, carefree young man who has been her lover for several years. The story delves into themes of love, aging, and societal expectations within a wealthy Parisian context. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Chéri and Léa in a scene filled with playful tension, as Chéri teases Léa for her prized necklace. Their interactions reveal a blend of affection and irritation, showcasing a dynamic of dependence and indulgence. Léa, now in her late 40s, is portrayed as a vivacious woman who navigates her feelings of attachment towards Chéri, whom she has raised almost like a son. As they prepare for a gathering that involves Chéri's mother, the narrative hints at significant changes ahead, particularly with Chéri's impending marriage to a younger woman. The opening sets the stage for an intimate exploration of their relationship and the emotional undercurrents that define it. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
