On August 3, 1954, French national treasure female writer Cidoni Gabriel Collette passed away at the age of 81.
Who is Collette?
Three marriages, countless lovers, and all men and women. She is a rebellious "bad woman". The Catholic Church refuses to hold a religious funeral for her;
talented and full of classics. Legend actress queen Audrey Hepburn is her die-hard fan. She is a brilliant star in the history of the world literary world. France held a state funeral for her.
Although he was an ordinary person, Collette's childhood was very happy.
My father was an officer who was unfortunately injured and amputated in the war. His mother was quite literary and independent and pioneering.
The family was having a happy time. When Collette was a child, he often ran freely in the fields and woods with his brothers like "savages".
Slowly, Collette grew into a beautiful, free and emotional girl.
html When I was 118 years old, love came as scheduled.
Willie, a writer and publisher from Paris, came from afar and visited this ordinary little family, breaking down Collette's peaceful life.
Willie, 14 years older than Collette, is mature and full of artistic atmosphere. He tells her about the unrestrainedness, romance and freedom of Paris, and Collette is deeply attracted.
Collett followed Willie without hesitation on a dream journey in Paris. Soon after, the two got married.
In Paris, the romantic capital, the social circle is filled with all kinds of people, socialites, celebrities, writers, artists, businessmen...
Collet looks out of place, but she is full of confidence. She is cheerful, casual, free, does not wear a corset, and has a maverick temperament.
Under the recommendation of her husband, she met cultural celebrities such as Debussy, Proust, and Anatoll Franz, and even became a frequent visitor to the "King of Poets" Malamic Tuesday salon.
Collet slowly adapted to life in Paris. She loved her husband deeply because he took her to see the diversity of the world.
However, the dream was quickly torn to pieces.
Collet discovered that her husband Willie was not a gentleman, his talent was fake, and most of his works were written by gunmen; his personal ethics were even corrupt, such as horse racing, gambling, cheating, and even bringing prostitutes home.
Collet asked her husband sadly, but unexpectedly he replied shamelessly: "Men are all like this. We are weak, not as strong as your women. We are just slaves of desire. In this city, our behavior is acquiesced."Collet was desperate, and she returned home with pain.
The wise mother told her: "Don't trust anyone except yourself. You have to become stronger and let marriage adapt to you!"
Collet got strength from her mother and returned to Paris in full dress.
She originally wanted to manage her marriage well, but the situation was even worse.
A few years later, my husband's publishing business was in trouble, and he squandered himself and owed huge debts.
At this time, Willie, a businessman, came up with a wonderful idea - let Collet write for him.
He has always known how talented Collette has to write. He encouraged Collette to write novels and gave instructions from others, adding erotic plots to his works.
So, Collet's first novel "Crotina" was born.
Collet's writing style and her husband's marketing routines. As expected, after the publication of "Crotina", the sales volume was amazing and it was a great success.
"Crotina", this girl Collette, based on herself, is unique and charming, and has become a household name in France.
It’s a pity that all fame and money have nothing to do with Collette.
After that, Collette became her husband's money tree.
Part 2 and 3...
In order to let Colette write her work as soon as possible, Willie even locked her in the house and forced her to write for four hours a day, otherwise she would not be allowed to go out.
Later, in order to stimulate Colette's writing inspiration, Willie actually encouraged her to "experience" life and encouraged her to find a lover during marriage. That's true for
, why not do it?
So, Collette completely lets go, she is "both men and women", and she is both male and female, and even has a common female lover with her husband.
All these are well known.
Love after love has become the source of inspiration for Collet. One work after another was born, and each part was best-selling, but all the signatures of the works were Willy, without exception.
Collet seems to have become accustomed to this kind of life and is completely integrated into the Paris social circle until she meets Baron Missy, which inspires new sparks in her life.
Mixi, born with a noble family and wealthy country, always dressed up in men and talked about things like men.
Two equally special women, embracing each other and embracing each other.
Misi asked Collette: "Are you Crotina or yourself?"
hits the soul directly!
Collet is no longer willing to be her husband's puppet. She protested to Willie and wanted to sign her name on the new book.
Unsurprisingly, her husband rejected her, and he laughed, "The female writer has no sales."
Collet once again clearly recognized her husband's selfishness and hypocrisy, and what really made her completely desperate was that Willy sold the exclusive copyright of the "Crotina" series of novels to a publishing house.
For Collet, "Crotina" is like her own child.
Collet finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she made up her mind to leave her husband.
Of course she knew that after leaving her husband, she lost everything she had now, but she refused.
In order to make a living, Collette became a musical actor, active in Europe, wandering around and waived in peace.
On the stage, she exposed her breasts and hugged and kissed Missy tightly. The audience was in an uproar and criticism continued.
But Collett enjoyed it. She used the money she earned to support herself, and more importantly, she finally found herself back.
Suffering is the source of inspiration, and many other classics such as "The Wandering Female Actress", "Insider of the Song and Dance Theater", and "Challenge" came into being.
as free and unrestrained as her, and her life will certainly not be restricted.
This is a passionate and passionate relationship.
With the help of Henry, Collette explored more stylistic writing. The performances, litigation, social news reports she wrote are brilliant and has unique views, which are exemplary.
Being a mother for the first time, Collett was not happy. On the contrary, she regarded her daughter as a burden because caring for the baby took up too much of her writing time.
Faced with this hungry little baby, Collet sent his daughter away without much hesitation.
Not long after, battle broke out.
Henry was conscripted and the couple was separated for a long time.
Cerlet is certainly not a loyal and virtuous wife. She has an inappropriate love with her 16-year-old stepson Bertrand, which has sparked public opinion throughout Europe.
Faced with the criticism of thousands of people, Collette said indifferently: "I don't care about the difference in age, and I don't care about the opinions of fools."
Collette and his daughter, Bertrand
The second marriage naturally could not be maintained, but Collette still did his own thing. She continued to write, hunt for beauty, and constantly tried more possibilities in life.
html When she was 160 years old, she opened a beauty salon in Paris, developed her own products, and often dressed up her customers in person.
Among the customers she receives, there are young and energetic young ladies and middle-aged and elderly women with charm. She encourages women of all ages to discover their unique beauty.
"Among the guests I received, there are many women in their fifties and sixties, but I have never seen them discouraged, and it is them who witnessed the magic of makeup."
html When I was 162 years old, Collette ushered in his third marriage and married Morris Goodkee, who had been in love for ten years.
Although she is already in her sixties, Collette remains passionate. She said this is her happiest marriage.
However, WWII broke out.
As a Jew, Morris was unfortunately arrested and entered a concentration camp. Collet ran around and worked hard to rescue him.
Collet experienced two world wars in her life. The war allowed her to examine the world and think about human nature, and made her write works full of compassion - "Reverse Diary" and "Paris in front of my Window".
As we walked, Collette's life reached its twilight years.
"She is already seventy-five years old, but she has the most charming eyes and a small face like a charming cat in the world." The famous feminist writer Beauvoir , the number one fan of Collette, once wrote this.
In his later years, Collet was plagued by illness and could only spend the last few years of his life in a wheelchair. Morris took good care of her and never left her.
Collett was not trapped by the world in her life, and lived out her truest self. Her works never directly write about feminism, but she revealed women's sense of independence and freedom everywhere.
She is one person with thousands of faces, passionate and ruthless, but she loves herself, is free and bound. She is one of the brightest stars in the history of human literature.
