Come accade che il tempo che abbiamo vissuto diviene la nostra vita? È questo il nodo affrontato da "Gli anni", affresco autobiografico e al contempo cronaca collettiva del nostro mondo dal dopoguerra a oggi, nodo sciolto in un canto indissolubile attraverso la magistrale fusione della voce individuale con il coro della Storia. Annie Ernaux convoca la Liberazione, l’Algeria, la maternità, de Gaulle, il ’68, l’emancipazione femminile, Mitterrand; e ancora l’avanzata della merce, le tentazioni del conformismo, l’avvento di internet, l’undici settembre, la riscoperta del desiderio.

La storia di un uomo, di un padre, raccontata con precisione chirurgica, senza compatimenti, dalla figlia scrittrice. Perché quando si tradisce, "scrivere è l'ultima risorsa". La storia di una donna che si affranca con dolorosa tenerezza dalle proprie origini rurali e scrive dei suoi genitori alla ricerca di un ormai impossibile linguaggio comune.

Ottobre 1963: una studentessa ventitreenne è costretta a ricorrere alle vie clandestine per poter interrompere una gravidanza. L'evento restituisce i giorni e le tappe di questa ricerca disperata: l'apatia, le ambiguità dei medici, la vicinanza di qualche compagna di corso e l'incontro con la mammana, sino al senso di fierezza per aver, in un modo o nell'atro, resistito.

This narrative charts Annie Ernaux's teenage awakening and then the parallel progression of her desire to be desirable and her ambition to fulfill herself in her chosen profession - with the inevitable conflict between the two. And then she is 30 years old, a teacher married to an executive, a mother of two infant sons.

Self-regard, in the works of Annie Ernaux, is always an excruciatingly painful and exact process. Here, she revisits the peculiar kind of self-fulfillment possible when we examine ourselves in the aftermath of a love affair, and sometimes, even, through the eyes of the lost beloved.

My father tried to kill my mother one Sunday in June, in the early afternoon, begins Shame, the probing story of the 12-year-old girl who will become the author herself and the single traumatic memory that will echo and resonate throughout her life. With the emotionally rich voice of great fiction and the diamond-sharp analytical eye of a scientist, Annie Ernaux provides a powerful reflection on experience and the power of violent memory to endure through time, to determine the course of a life.

In her spare, stark style, Annie Ernaux documents the desires and indignities of a human heart ensnared in an all-consuming passion. Blurring the line between fact and fiction, an unnamed narrator attempts to plot the emotional and physical course of her two-year relationship with a married foreigner where every word, event, and person either provides a connection with her beloved or is subject to her cold indifference. With courage and exactitude, she seeks the truth behind an existence lived entirely for someone else, and, in the pieces of its aftermath, she is able to find it.

Upon her mother’s death from Alzheimer’s, Annie Ernaux embarks on a daunting journey back through time, as she seeks to “capture the real woman, the one who existed independently from me, born on the outskirts of a small Normandy town, and who died in the geriatric ward of a hospital in the suburbs of Paris.” She explores the bond between mother and daughter, tenuous and unshakable at once, the alienating worlds that separate them, and the inescapable truth that we must lose the ones we love.

In A Girl's Story, Annie Ernaux revisits a night 50 years earlier when she found herself submerged and controlled by another person's desire and willpower. It was the summer of 1958, the year she turned 18, and the man she had given herself to had moved on. She'd submitted her will to his and then found that she was a slave without a master.

For half a century, the French writer Annie Ernaux has transgressed the boundaries of what stories are considered worth telling, what subjects worth exploring. In this probing meditation, Ernaux turns her attention to the phenomenon of the big-box superstore, a ubiquitous feature of modern life that has received scant attention in literature. Recording her visits to a store near Paris for over a year, she captures the world that exists within its massive walls.

The Years is a personal narrative of the period of 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present - even projections into the future - photos, books, songs, radio, television, and decades of advertising and headlines, contrasted with intimate conflicts and written notes from six decades of diaries. Local dialect, words of the time, slogans, brands, and names for ever-proliferating objects are given a voice here. The voice we recognize as the author's continually dissolves and re-emerges.

Barely educated and valued since childhood strictly for his labor, Ernaux's father had grown into a hard, practical man who showed his family little affection. Narrating his slow ascent towards material comfort, Ernaux's cold observation reveals the shame that haunted her father throughout his life. She scrutinizes the importance he attributed to manners and language that came so unnaturally to him as he struggled to provide for his family with a grocery store and cafe in rural France.

"Enfant, quand je m'efforçais de m'exprimer dans un langage châtié, j'avais l'impression de me jeter dans le vide. Une de mes frayeurs imaginaires, avoir un père instituteur qui m'aurait obligée à bien parler sans arrêt en détachant les mots. On parlait avec toute la bouche. Puisque la maîtresse me "reprenait", plus tard j'ai voulu reprendre mon père, lui annoncer que "se parterrer" ou "quart moins d'onze heures" n'existaient pas.

"À partir du mois de septembre l'année dernière, je n'ai plus rien fait d'autre qu'attendre un homme : qu'il me téléphone et qu'il vienne chez moi." Annie Ernaux. Juliette Binoche interprète avec sensibilité cette œuvre essentielle d'Annie Ernaux, prix Nobel de littérature 2022.

Nach über 55 Jahren taucht Annie Ernaux ein in das Jahr 1958. Den Sommer verbringt sie in einem Feriencamp in der Normandie. Gemeinsam mit anderen Betreuern feiert sie Partys und genießt ihre Jugend. Und sie verbringt ihre erste Nacht mit einem Mann, eine erste sexuelle Erfahrung, die sie voller Scham mit in spätere Jahre trägt - und die sie fortan versucht zu vergessen. Annie Ernaux wirft einen Blick zurück auf das Mädchen, das sie einmal war. Doch sie schreibt auch über die Natur des Begehrens, über die Rolle der Frau und das Vergehen der Zeit.

This is Annie Ernaux’s account of her passionate love affair with A., a man some thirty years younger, when she was in her fifties. The relationship pulls her back to memories of her own youth and, at the same time, leaves her feeling ageless, outside of time—together with a sense that she is living her life backwards. Amidst talk of having a child together, she feels time running its course and menopause approaching. The Young Man recalls Ernaux as the “scandalous girl” she once was but is composed with the mastery and the self-assurance she has achieved across decades of writing.

"Ça suffit d'être une vicieuse, une cachottière, une fille poisseuse et lourde vis-à-vis des copines de classe, légères, libres, pures de leur existence... Fallait encore que je me mette à mépriser mes parents. Tous les péchés, tous les vices. Personne ne pense mal de son père ou de sa mère. Il n'y a que moi." Annie Ernaux. Un roman âpre, pulpeux, celui d'une déchirure sociale, par l'autrice de La place. Rebecca Marder interprète avec sensibilité ce premier roman d'Annie Ernaux où sont déjà présents tous les thèmes qu'elle développera par la suite.

Annie Ernaux se esfuerza aquí por reencontrar los diferentes rostros y la vida de su madre, muerta el 7 de abril de 1986, al término de una enfermedad que había destruido su memoria y su integridad intelectual y física. Ella, tan activa, tan abierta al mundo. Búsqueda de la existencia de una mujer, obrera, luego comerciante ansiosa por mantener su nuevo estatus y por aprender. Puesta al día, también, de la evolución y la ambivalencia de los sentimientos de una hija por su madre: amor, odio, ternura, culpabilidad, y, por último, apego visceral a la anciana disminuida.

"Depuis des années, je tourne autour de cet événement de ma vie. Lire dans un roman le récit d'un avortement me plonge dans un saisissement sans images ni pensées, comme si les mots se changeaient instantanément en sensation violente. De la même façon entendre par hasard "La javanaise", "J'ai la mémoire qui flanche", n'importe quelle chanson qui m'a accompagnée durant cette période, me bouleverse."

Anulând granițele dintre ficțiune și memorialistică, naratoarea anonimă din Pasiune simplă documentează reacțiile, dorințele, umilințele unei femei consumate timp de doi ani de pasiunea pentru un străin căsătorit. Fiecare cuvânt, întâmplare ori persoană ce­i iese în cale îi prilejuiește o legătură cu cel iubit ori îi provoacă o indiferență glacială. Nu există cale de mijloc, așa cum luciditatea extremă nu oferă scăpare din fața acestei pasiuni mistuitoare.
