<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A vivid portrait of Parisian music hall life, this 1910 novel reflects the adventures of the author of <i>Gigi</i> as a dancer as well as her struggles balancing respectability and freedom.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From the author of <i>Gigi</i> comes this tale of 33-year-old Renée Néré, recently divorced and seeking a new life as a vaudeville performer. Maxime, a wealthy playboy, tempts her from the path of independence with the comforts of love and marriage. From the physical and psychological distance of a provincial tour, Renée reflects upon the conflicting needs of security and freedom. <br><i>The Vagabond, </i> one of the first and best feminist novels ever written, is that rare thing: a great book which is also inspiring, declared Erica Jong. This vivid portrait of life in the Parisian music halls of the early twentieth century was drawn from the author's personal experiences. Colette's 1910 novel mirrors her own adventures as an itinerant dancer as well as her struggles to maintain a balance between social respectability and artistic freedom. This edition features an authoritative new translation of her story as well as an informative Introduction by Stanley Appelbaum.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>French author Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954) is best known in the English-speaking world for <i>Gigi, </i> the basis for the Lerner and Lowe musical. Her 50 novels, noteworthy for their keen observations and clever dialogue, include both idyllic narratives and troubled tales of romance.
