In 2009, Editorial Presença revived José Saramago's translation from the 1960s and reissued Chéri with literary revision by the José Saramago Foundation.
Already in the sixties, José Saramago's translation had been recognized in literary circles, and this mastery was reinforced in this latest edition: "José Saramago's exemplary translation restores to us, in Portuguese, the nuances of Colette's writing with the same magnificent vigor and clarity," as stated on the book's back cover.
