Colette. The Cat. First American Edition. 1936. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in very good minus condition—dust jacket shows repaired tears, light fraying, and tiny chips to the spine. Translated by Morris Bentinck. Decorations by Suzanne Suba.
At the heart of this light but touching novella by the great French storyteller is a sensitive and noble Chartreuse cat named Saha. Her master is Alain, the scion of an old French family, who makes a strategic alliance by marrying the daughter of a wealthy industrialist. A rivalry develops between Saha and Alain’s new bride, leaving a despairing Saha at the mercy of Alain’s frustrated and ruthless wife. By the book’s conclusion, however, the more deserving opponent prevails.
“My little puma, beloved cat, creature of lofty peaks! However will you live if we are to be separated one from the other?”
--The Cat
