Flowers And Fruit
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Jacket: Worn/faded - no tears. Page Condition: Good. Markings: No markings. Binding condition: Binding intact, no loose pages.
A celebrated anthology drawn from the vast literary output of one of France's most beloved writers, Flowers and Fruit presents a curated selection of Colette's most sensuous and evocative prose passages centred on the natural world. Edited by Robert Phelps and translated by Matthew Ward, the collection gathers meditations on gardens, food, animals, and the pleasures of the senses that defined Colette's singular voice throughout her long career. The writing is lush and precise, infused with an almost synaesthetic attention to colour, texture, taste, and scent that makes even the briefest passage feel richly immersive. This anthology illustrates why Colette remains an enduring force in world literature — a writer whose observations of everyday life carry the weight and beauty of poetry.
