Annie Ernaux
About this listen
«He querido olvidar a aquella chica. Olvidarla de verdad, es decir, no querer escribir más sobre ella. No pensar más que debo escribir sobre ella, sobre su deseo, su locura, su estupidez y su orgullo, su hambre y su sangre cortada. Nunca lo he conseguido».
Con la voz de Bárbara Lennie como Annie Ernaux.
En Memoria de chica, Annie Ernaux se sumerge en el verano de 1958, el de su primera noche con un hombre, en la colonia de S, en el Orne. Una noche que le iba a le dejar una marca indeleble, que iba a perseguirla durante años. Hasta la valiente decisión de reconstruirla escribiéndola, ayudada por fotografías y cartas recuperadas, sumida en una búsqueda: la de sus antiguos amigos y amigas, la de Él, ese primer hombre, pero sobre todo la de sí misma, aquella Annie que tanto le cuesta entender a la Annie actual, en un vaivén implacable entre el ayer y el hoy.
La crítica ha dicho...
«Annie Emaux es el nombre de un rompecabezas cuyas piezas ensamblan, libro a libro, para formar una de las mayores obras de nuestra época. Sus lectores no se equivocan, ya se cuentan por centenares de miles. Memoria de chica es un milagro de dignidad, de integridad y de inteligencia».
Grégoire Leménager/ L'Observateur
«Un magnífico relato donde Annie Ernaux explora una época crucial de su vida».
Raphaëlle Leyris/ Le Monde des Livres
«En cuerpo y alma. Annie Ernaux recuerda los estupores y temblores de su carne y de su alma de chica».
Sébastien Lapaque/ Le Figaro Littéraire
«La escritura de Annie Ernaux es ahora más que nunca contemporánea. Es la ocasión de medir la importancia de su obra y cómo ha marcado a la generación más joven, de Edouard Louis a Virginie Despentes pasando por Emmanuel Carrère o Didier Eribon».
Nelly Kaprièlian/ Les Inrockuptibles
«Exploradora del alma. La autora construye una gran obra artística y carnal, atada a la incertidumbre».
Christine Ferniot/ Lire
«Un libro sublime, que añade una pieza maestra al conjunto de la obra de Annie Ernaux».
Dorothée Werner/ Elle
«Una búsqueda, una recopilación, interrogantes. La escritura sirve para esto: comprender».
Marie-Laure Delorme/ Le Journal du Dimanche

Story
Un relato escalofriante, una historia real que nos sume en el estupor, que es un viaje al corazón del horror, un audiolibro excepcional que ha sido comparado con "A sangre fría" de Truman Capote. El 9 de enero de 1993, Jean-Claude Romand mató a su mujer, sus hijos, sus padres e intentó, sin éxito, darse muerte. La investigación reveló que no era médico, tal como pretendía y, cosa aún más difícil de creer, tampoco era otra cosa. Mentía desde los dieciocho años. A punto de verse descubierto, prefirió suprimir a aquellos cuya mirada no hubiera podido soportar.

Cuando Eufrasia Vela empieza a trabajar como cuidadora de ancianos, no sospecha que su oficio la llevará a una encrucijada existencial. La íntima relación que mantiene con doña Carmen, el doctor Harrison y Los Siete Magníficos—entrañables personajes que se apoderan de su pensamiento y su cariño—la obliga a replantearse su papel de madre y hermana, las vicisitudes de la longevidad, las formas de la compasión y el sorpresivo valor que los cuyes, esos conejillos de Indias tan peculiares, adquieren en su presupuesto moral.

Story
En los años 1942 y 1943, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, buzos de combate italianos hundieron o dañaron catorce barcos aliados en Gibraltar y la bahía de Algeciras. En esta novela, inspirada en hechos reales, sólo algunos personajes y situaciones son imaginarios. Elena Arbués, una librera de veintisiete años, encuentra una madrugada mientras pasea por la playa a uno de esos buzos, desvanecido entre la arena y el agua. Al socorrerlo, la joven ignora que esa determinación cambiará su vida y que el amor será sólo parte de una peligrosa aventura.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.
