«La gata» is Colette's short novel, published by Nortesur in hardback (160 pages, in Spanish).
Camille and Alain form a bourgeois marriage whose coexistence is disturbed by Saha, the cat to whom he devotes all his attention. Colette turns that triangle into a fable about jealousy: the rivalry between wife and animal reveals the tension between childhood and social conventions, with a direct and sensory style.
First title in the Nortesur Literaria collection. Original work «La chatte» (1933), in French; translation by Julia Escobar, with afterword, chronology and bibliography by Luis Prat Claros.
For readers of classic European fiction who appreciate an edition with supplementary material about the author and her era.
Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, known mononymously as Colette or as Colette Willy, was a French author and woman of letters. She was also a mime, actress, and journalist. Colette is best known in the English-speaking world for her 1944 novella Gigi, which was the basis for the 1958 film and the 1973 stage production of the same name. Her short story collection The Tendrils of the Vine is also famous in France.
