Format: Abridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 22 minutes

Release date: September 30, 2023

Genres: Contemporary Women

Publisher's Summary:

Mit wenigen Worten erschafft Claire Keegan eine ganze Welt.  »Kleine Dinge wie diese ist ein Buch zum zweimal Lesen, ein Herzensding, was man nicht mehr missen möchte.« ―Cornelia Geißler, Berliner Zeitung  Wer etwas auf sich hält in New Ross, County Wicklow, und es sich leisten kann, lässt seine Wäsche im Kloster waschen. Doch was sich dort hinter den glänzenden Fenstern und dicken Mauern ereignet, will in der Kleinstadt niemand so genau wissen. Denn es gibt Gerüchte. Dass es moralisch fragwürdige Mädchen sind, die zur Buße Schmutzflecken aus den Laken waschen. Dass sie von früh bis spät arbeiten müssen und daran zugrunde gehen. Dass ihre neugeborenen Babys ins Ausland verkauft werden. Der Kohlenhändler Billy Furlong hat kein Interesse an Klatsch und Tratsch. Es sind harte Zeiten in Irland 1985, er hat Frau und fünf Töchter zu versorgen, und die Nonnen zahlen pünktlich. Eines Morgens ist Billy zu früh dran mit seiner Auslieferung. Und macht im Kohlenschuppen des Klosters eine Entdeckung, die ihn zutiefst verstört. Er muss eine Entscheidung treffen: als Familienvater, als Christ, als Mensch.  Auf unnachahmliche Weise erzählt 'Kleine Dinge wie diese' von Komplizenschaft und Mitschuld, davon, wie Menschen das Grauen in ihrer Mitte ignorieren, um in ihrem Alltag fortfahren zu können – davon, dass es möglich ist, das Richtige zu tun.

Title: [Spanish] - Memoria de chica

Author: Annie Ernaux

Narrator: Bárbara Lennie

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 39 minutes

Release date: September 28, 2023

Genres: Contemporary Women

Publisher's Summary:

«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

Title: [Spanish] - La mujer helada

Author: Annie Ernaux

Narrator: Bárbara Lennie

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 59 minutes

Release date: September 28, 2023

Genres: Contemporary Women

Publisher's Summary:

Un fantástico retrato sobre la pérdida de la identidad de la mujer. Con la voz de Bárbara Lennie como Annie Ernaux. Tiene treinta años, es profesora, casada con un ejecutivo, madre de dos niños. Vive en una casa confortable. Sin embargo, es una mujer helada. Igual que miles de mujeres ha sentido cómo su curiosidad, su impulso vital se iban anquilosando a fuerza de un trabajo que compaginar con compras que hacer, cenas que cocinar, baños de niños que preparar… Todo eso que se entiende por la condición normal de mujer. Annie Ernaux cuenta brillantemente esta alteración de lo cotidiano, este empobrecimiento de las sensaciones, esta dilución de la identidad; esclavitud a la que las mujeres son empujadas como a un desafío. La crítica ha dicho... «Los libros de la francesa Annie Ernaux son el lugar de expiación de su propia historia. Fragmentos de una autobiografía sin secretos que la autora cuenta de manera sencilla y clara.(...) La literatura de Annie Ernaux es de índole autobiográfica, discreta, nada secreta y enormemente sencilla, clara y bastante minimalista (…) No se trata de contar cuentos sino de contar historias, mejor dicho, su propia historia por encima de todo lo demás, pero no cayendo en intimismo alguno, alejándose de toda subjetividad, pues considera su literatura como una especie de etnología, como una 'intervención' en la sociedad que le rodea» Rafael Conte/ El País
