　　【作者简介】

　　茜多妮·加布里埃尔·柯莱特，法国国宝级女作家，也是法国首位享有国葬之礼的女作家，被誉为“二十世纪法国最伟大的散文作家”“最自由的女性”。她写的大量作品多为爱情故事，主要作品有《吉吉》《谢里宝贝》等，被诺贝尔文学奖得主安德烈·纪德称誉为“自始至终无一败笔，无一赘语，无一俗套”。她的作品翻译成多国文字,在各国被阅读。她的生活和她的作品至今依然动人心弦,人们不断重新发现她的作品的深度和现代性。柯莱特的多部作品被改编成电影，其中最为知名的中篇小说《琪琪》改编的歌舞片《金粉世界》，荣获第31届奥斯卡金像奖最佳影片、最佳导演、最佳改编剧本、最佳摄影等九个奖项。

　　她有属于她自己的道德……一种贵族的道德。我在她身上看到的最独特的一点是：一种女花花公子，在她之前这个词可能会显得矛盾；一种极致的优雅，笼罩着神秘与静寂；一种对说尽一切的拒绝；一种对喋喋不休的恐惧。——安德烈·比利

　　了不起的女神。——波伏娃

　　今晚我哭了，这是很久以来的第一次，这段时间我被悲伤、痛苦和烦恼压得喘不过气。不过，我之所以哭，却并不是因为这些，而是因为读到了米苏的信。最后两封信堪称书中的杰作。——马塞尔·普鲁斯特

　　我一口气读完了《谢里宝贝》。您抓住了一个令人赞叹的主题，带着何等才智，何等技巧，以及对肉体最不为人知之秘的何等悟性！自始至终，无一败笔，无一冗言，无一俗套。——安德烈·纪德

　　致柯莱特，在她所属的性别中，只有她懂得写作是一门艺术，拥有这门艺术，并且令许多忽视她的人哑口无言。——保罗·瓦莱里

　　谁能比柯莱特更善于自然地、本能地、肉感地谈论植物呢？……她拥有一种独一无二的天赋，能够在文字中重新创造生命和它温和的悸动，花楸的滋味，小苹果般粉嫩，比欧楂更加细腻，风信子是地下水的友邻，它蓝色的天真宣告着报春花和小喇叭水仙花的绽放……——亚历山大·阿尔努

　　我认为柯莱特很喜欢新闻工作，也许这是继剧院之后她最喜欢闻的气味：打印机的气味，编辑部里积极的怠惰，那是另一种波希米亚生活，在那里人们开始了从未完成的新闻之旅。她的作品极具天赋，充满洞察力，对现实比对想象更为敏感，是一部长篇编年史，也是一部关于生活、人物和自然的精彩报告……——热拉尔·鲍尔

　　您是一位伟大的戏剧批评家，因为您热爱剧院犹如爱猫——而且您谈论戏剧时就仿佛在谈论小动物，还原本真，带着它们的缺点和狡诈，一旦倾注灵魂，我们就会爱上。在许多年间，最亲爱的柯莱特，您将您的灵魂注入了巴黎的剧院。——阿尔曼·萨拉克

　　她属于我们每一个人。借用玛格丽特·莫雷诺创造的迷人术语，如果用一个词概括的话……那么她就是“玛柯莱特”（我的柯莱特）。——菲利普·埃利亚

　　没有人能够在想象中构建得如此出色……自由正体现在目光的敏锐之中，体现在视线的强力与精准之中。——多米尼克·奥里

　　安德烈·帕里诺，法国记者、传记作家。

【 Content Introduction 】

Colette, writer, journalist, theater actress, first female judge for the Prix Goncourt, "The Great Goddess" (de Beauvoir), "the freest woman in the world", 77 years old, interviewed by French national Radio at her home. In the face of the press, she always maintains her own rhythm, talking about the birth of Crotina, the departure of her mother, the loyalty of the mother cat, the boundary between creation and reality in her unique language...

The interviews span Colette's entire creative career, presenting a Colette who, like her works - "whose light is not bound by any interpretation of literary criticism" - is not bound by any interpretation and misunderstanding.

【 About the author 】

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette, a French national treasure female writer, is also the first French female writer to enjoy the state funeral, known as "the greatest French prose writer in the 20th century" and "the most free woman". She wrote a large number of works for love stories, the main works are "Gigi" "Cheri Baby" and so on, by the Nobel Prize winner Andre Gide praised as "from beginning to end without failure, without nonsense, without conventional." Her works have been translated into many languages and read in many countries. Her life and her work are still moving today, and people continue to rediscover the depth and modernity of her work. Many of Collette's works have been adapted into films, of which the most famous novella "Kiki" adapted musical film "Gold Dust World", won the 31st Academy Awards best film, best director, best adapted screenplay, best cinematography and other nine awards.

She has her own morals... An aristocratic morality. The most distinctive thing I saw in her was: a kind of womanizer, before whom the word might seem contradictory; An ultimate elegance, shrouded in mystery and silence; A refusal to say anything; A fear of chatter. -- Andre Billy

A wonderful goddess. -- Beauvoir

I cried tonight for the first time in a long time, a time when I was overwhelmed with grief, pain and worry. However, the reason why I cried was not because of these, but because I read Misu's letter. The last two letters are masterpieces. -- Marcel Proust

I read Cheri Baby in one sitting. You have grasped an amazing subject, with what wit, what skill, and what understanding of the least-known mysteries of the flesh! From beginning to end, there is no failure, no redundancy, no cliches. -- Andre Gide

To Colette, the only woman of her gender who understood that writing was an art, owned it, and silenced many who ignored her. -- Paul Valeri

Who better than Colette to speak naturally, instinctively and sensuously about plants? ... She has a unique gift for recreating life and its gentle throb in words, the taste of the mountain ash, pink as a small apple, more delicate than the hawthorn, the hyacinth a friend of the ground water, its blue innocence proclaiming the bloom of primrose and trumpet daffodils... -- Alexander Arnou

I think Colette loved journalism, perhaps her favourite smell after the theatre: the smell of the printers, the positive laziness of the newsroom, that other Bohemian life where people embarked on journalistic journeys that were never completed. Gifted, insightful, more sensitive to reality than imagination, her work is a long chronicle and a wonderful report on life, people and nature... -- Gerard Bauer

You are a great theatre critic because you love the theatre as much as you love cats - and you talk about theatre as if it were a small animal, as it is, with its faults and cunning, which we love when we pour our souls into it. For many years, dearest Colette, you poured your soul into the theatres of Paris. -- Arman Salak

She belongs to all of us. To borrow a charming term coined by Margaret Moreno, if summed up in one word... Then she is "Marcolette" (my Colette). -- Philip Elia

No one can build it so well in their imagination... Freedom is embodied in the sharpness of the eye, in the strength and precision of the eye. -- Dominic Orie

Andre Parino is a French journalist and biographer.
