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.

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.

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.

Un dimanche de ses dix ans, à la dérobée, Annie apprend qu'elle n'est pas enfant unique. Avant sa naissance, ses parents ont perdu une première fille, emportée par la diphtérie. Plus jamais Annie n'entendra un mot sur cette soeur inconnue dont elle ne semble être que la remplaçante...

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.

Annie Ernaux s'efforce ici de retrouver les différents visages et la vie de sa mère, morte le 7 avril 1986, au terme d'une maladie qui avait détruit sa mémoire et son intégrité intellectuelle et physique. Elle, si active, si ouverte au monde. Quête de l'existence d'une femme, ouvrière, puis commerçante anxieuse de "tenir son rang" et d'apprendre.

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 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. 

This extraordinary evocation of a grown daughter’s attachment to her mother - and of both women’s strength and resiliency - recounts Annie’s attempt to first help her mother recover from Alzheimer’s disease and, then, when that proves futile, bear witness to the older woman’s gradual decline and her own experience as a daughter losing a beloved parent. I Remain in Darkness is a new high-water mark for Ernaux, surging with raw emotional power and her sublime ability to use language to apprehend her own life’s particular music. 

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.

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.

"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.

« J'ai toujours eu envie d'écrire des livres dont il me soit ensuite impossible de parler, qui rendent le regard d'autrui insoutenable. Mais quelle honte pourrait m'apporter l'écriture d'un livre qui soit à la hauteur de ce que j'ai éprouvé dans ma douzième année. » Annie Ernaux. Noémie Lvovsky s'empare avec justesse de ce texte fort et fondamental de l'œuvre d'Annie Ernaux.

Annie Ernaux’ debutroman fra 1974 foreligger nu for første gang på dansk. Det er en både radikal og sårbar fortælling om abort, køn og klasse og et nøgleværk i nobelprismodtagerens forfatterskab. Frankrig 1961: Denise Lesur er 20 år og har fået foretaget en illegal abort. Nu ligger...

Pendant un an, Annie Ernaux a tenu le journal de ses visites à l'hypermarché Auchan du centre commercial des Trois-Fontaines situé en région parisienne. "Voir pour écrire, c'est voir autrement", écrit-elle. On redécouvre en effet à ses côtés le monde de la grande surface. Loin de se résumer à la corvée des courses, celle-ci prend dans ce livre audio un autre visage : elle devient un grand rendez-vous humain, un véritable spectacle.

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.

"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.

En quelques pages, à la première personne, Annie Ernaux raconte une relation vécue avec un homme de trente ans de moins qu'elle. Une expérience qui la fit redevenir, l'espace de plusieurs mois, la "fille scandaleuse" de sa jeunesse. Un voyage dans le temps qui lui permit de franchir une étape décisive dans son écriture. La lecture sensible de Françoise Gillard de la Comédie-Française met en valeur ce texte clé de l'œuvre d'Annie Ernaux qui éclaire son rapport au temps et à l'écriture.

In these diaries, it is 1989, and Annie is divorced with two grown sons, living outside of Paris, and nearing fifty. Her lover escapes the city to see her there, and Ernaux seems to survive only in expectation of these encounters, saying “his desire for me is the only thing I can be sure of.” She cannot write; she trudges distractedly through her various other commitments in the world; she awaits his next call; she lives only to feel desire and for the next rendezvous. When he is gone and the desire has faded, she feels that she is a step closer to death.
