COLETTE
The Blue Lantern. First edition, published in Paris, by Ferenczi, in 1949. And covered with a bound cover. A well-preserved copy: small rubbings used on headdresses. Inside fresh and without freckles. Immobilized by arthritis in front of her desk, lit day and night by the lamp she has skirted with a sheet of her famous blue paper - hence the title of the collection - Colette is condemned to meditation. A few trips outside Paris (Geneva, the Beaujolais, the Côte), the meeting of a cat "carried by a slave who claimed to be her mistress", the meetings of the Académie Goncourt of which she was president, the death of Marguerite Moreno, her friend from the early years of Parisian life, the visit of young girls, serious or futile, these daily events are, among others, occasions for evocation, for looking back, for flying towards others, for reflection. Book of wisdom, book of a sage, book of a stoic, Colette's last work is a book of hope...
