Description
Annie Ernaux - Shame
In Shame, the author entrusts the narrative with the "unspeakable scene" of childhood—those profound moments that defy words and formulations—to explore the genesis of shame through the eyes of a twelve-year-old girl. Maintaining a self-narrative style that brings the immediacy of the writing's present to the reader, the novel also vividly depicts the social landscape of France in the 1950s. With relentless consistency, the author unveils the social mechanisms that transform religion, culture, and education into tools of class superiority. Shame meditates on the existence of two worlds—the privileged and the oppressed—and the impossible dialogue between them. Through this lens, the novel offers a profound reflection on the societal structures that perpetuate inequality and the personal experiences that shape our understanding of shame.
