"In these pages, I bring together extreme stories of parents and children. I am half a stranger to them: not being a father, I have necessarily remained a son." Erri De Luca's variations on this highly personal theme of filiation, which has become a central motif in his work over the years, are full of finesse. We meet young Neapolitan vagabonds, the daughter of a Nazi on the run, an incarcerated woman speaking to her recently deceased mother, the rebellious youth of May '68 and the director of a Warsaw orphanage. Through nine stories that blend the intimate with the universal, Erri De Luca poetically explores the relationship between parents and children.


"Dans ces pages, je réunis des histoires extrêmes de parents et d'enfants. J'en suis à moitié étranger : n'étant pas père, je suis resté nécessairement fils." Autour de ce thème très personnel de la filiation, devenu avec le temps un motif central de son oeuvre, Erri De Luca compose des variations pleines de finesse. On y croise de jeunes vagabonds napolitains, la fille d'un nazi en cavale, une femme incarcérée s'adressant à sa mère tout juste décédée, la jeunesse révoltée de Mai 68 ou encore le directeur d'un orphelinat de Varsovie. À travers neufs récits qui mêlent l'intime à l'universel, Erri De Luca explore avec poésie les rapports entre parents et enfants.

FAQ

Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!

Are the books New?

Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.

What defines the prices of the books?

As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.

Do you have a shop?

My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine. I also have a physical location present in Orange County accessible via appointment only. Please contact me through text to get more information!
