About This Item
Mass Market Paperback. Publisher: Faber & Faber | Utg. 2022 | Mass Market Paperback | 80 p. | This book is brand new. | Translator: Leslie, Tanya | Language: Engelska --- Information regarding the book: Annie Ernaux's father died exactly two months after she passed her exams for a teaching certificate. Barely educated and valued since childhood strictly for his labour, 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 in A Man's Place 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. Over the course of the book, Ernaux grows up to become the uncompromising observer now familiar to the world, while her father matures into old age with a staid appreciation for life as it is and for a daughter he cautiously, even reluctantly admires. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.
