AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original edition, limited to 300 numbered copies, this one being number 140 out of 260 on special white volume.

Paperback volume, with a printed cover in black and red, slightly embossed. Interior fresh and clean. In excellent condition. Very beautiful copy.

Colette refused to write her life story, but in L’Étoile Vesper (initially subtitled 'Souvenirs'), finally writing beyond all constraints, she discreetly confesses herself through carefully assembled fragments, incorporating some earlier texts. The whole was serialized in the first issues of Elle (November 1945-January 1946), then published by the Swiss editions of Milieu du monde.
A kind of fragmented chronicle records the main events and observations of daily life: the whims of spring, the comings and goings of the companion, visits. Immobilized, Colette observes the sky, the path of the moon or Vesper in the quadrilateral outlined by the Palais-Royal, the faces, 'the wonders magnified by [the] magnifying glass.'
