FREE GIGI: AND, THE CAT PDF Colette | 160 pages | 04 Oct 2001 | Vintage Publishing | 9780099422754 | English | London, United Kingdom Women in Translation: Colette’s Gigi, and The Cat – Kate Macdonald I posted a review of her novella Julie de Carneilhan a year ago. Here are two more. The Cat is a deeply Gigi: and story of a man Gigi: and loves his cat more than his wife, and what the wife does to the cat in revenge. Both novellas were reprinted together in the s by Penguin to tie in with the film of Gigi starring Louis Jourdan, Maurice Chevalier and Leslie Caron its just been republished with a spiffy new cover. In the novella, Gilberte is 15 and a half, lives with her grandmother and mother, and is being given classes in table manners and cigar-selection by her great-aunt Alicia. Alicia is the most successful of the family, with her apartment, servants, jewels, and beautiful clothes. Gigi is still dressing as a child because her mother would otherwise be exposed as older than she pretends to be, The Cat she is annoyed because one of the girls at her school has already been given a diamond ring by a middle-aged admirer. Colette was way ahead of her time. The Caton the other hand, is very strange indeed. It is the story of a man so much in love with his cat that he leaves his wife for it, and abandons his home, his business partnerships and returns to live with mother. Alain is a passive The Cat silk merchant, about to be married to Camille, a greedy and crude young woman whose family is connected to his The Cat and who seems like a reasonable match, since he must marry some time. Saha is his cat. It is an unavoidable flaw in the translation that in English we lose the deliberately gendered inflection La Chatte rather than le chat in the title. The only weapon Camille has is sex, which we read about a great deal, but Alain tires, eventually, of her body because he is longing for his cat. The story does not end happily. The Cat could so easily turn The Cat a horror story, Gigi: and veers off into strange psychosexual territories, in the shrubbery, on Gigi: and grass, under the full moon.

A number of Hartman's lines exist where Jiji simply says nothing in the original such as in the scene where Jiji approaches Lily along the top of the wall. Jiji's personality is notably different between the two versions, showing a more cynical and sarcastic attitude The Cat the English version, as opposed to cautious and conscience-like in the original Japanese.
