Lorenzo Flabbi Knihy

Roky sa považujú za jedno z ikonických diel francúzskej memoárovej prózy. Text je osobným rozprávaním o období od 1941 do 2006 prostredníctvom optiky pamäti, minulých a súčasných dojmov, dokonca aj predstáv budúcnosti: fotografie, knihy, skladby, rádio, televízia a desaťročia reklamy, titulkov z tlače v kontraste s intímnymi konfliktmi a denníkovými záznamami. Prehovárajú tu dialekty, slová spojené s danou dobou, slogany, značky a názvy množiacich sa predmetov. Autorkin hlas sa stráca a opätovne vynára, plynutie času sa stáva hmatateľným a čas si určuje smerovanie rozprávania, z ktorého vzniká nová autobiografia – subjektívna a neosobná, súkromná a kolektívna zároveň.

The new bestseller from the country's number one storyteller is a deeply moving and powerful tale of love and courage and a sacrifice no man should be asked to make. Three strangers are thrown together by chance. It's an encounter which is destined to change all of their lives for ever. When Ben Morris comes to the aid of Lucy Baker and her daughter Mary, he is intrigued by the story behind their frequent visits to the local graveyard. Later, invited into their home, an old Edwardian place suffused with secrets of the past, Ben hears Lucy's remarkable tale - one she must tell before it's too late. The story of Barney Davidson, his family and the part Lucy played in his extraordinary life, is one of a deep, abiding love and an incredible sacrifice, spellbinding in its tragedy and passion. And it still exerts a powerful influence in the present day! The Journey is Josephine Cox at her mesmerising best. Spanning decades, generations and continents, it will stay with you for ever.
