Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette bola jedna z najvýznamnejších francúzskych spisovateliek románov. Najznámejšou je jej prvotina Claudine , ktorú napísala na popud svojho prvého manžela a po prvýkrát vyšla pod jeho menom Willy. V prvom okamihu vyvolala kniha škandál.

Jej tvorba po oslobodení od vplyvu jej prvého manžela nadobudla väčšiu celistvosť. V roku 1936 sa stala členkou Kráľovskej belgickej akadémie, v roku 1945 ako druhá žena jedným z desiatich členov Goncourtovej akadémie, a neskôr jej bol udelený Rad čestnej légie. O jej mimoriadnej významnosti svedčí aj fakt, že ako prvá žena vo Francúzsku mala po smrti štátny pohreb, ktorý sa konal na veľkom čestnom nádvorí Palais-Royal. Wikipedia

“A pretty little collection of weaknesses and a terror of spiders are our indispensable stock-in-trade with the men… nine men out of ten are superstitious, nineteen out of twenty believe in the evil eye, and ninety-eight out of a hundred are afraid of spiders. They forgive us — oh! for many things, but not for the absence in us of their own feelings.”

Mes Apprentissages (1936)

“Voluptuaries, consumed by their senses, always begin by flinging themselves with a great display of frenzy into an abyss. But they survive, they come to the surface again. And they develop a routine of the abyss: “It’s four o’clock … At five I have my abyss.””

I squirmed, blew fire through my nostrils, multiplied my twenty claws by a hundred, my teeth by one thousand, and finally — disappeared as if by magic.
