«Le Livre de ma mère» is the autobiographical account by Albert Cohen, published by Folio in paperback (174 pages, in French).
After his mother's death, Albert Cohen evokes her figure with everyday memories and gestures of tenderness. The book interweaves the portrait of a woman devoted to her son with the confession of the impatience and reproaches that are only understood late; a meditation on filial love, memory and loss.
The text was originally published in 1954 and corresponds to number 561 of the Folio collection.
Suitable for those seeking an intimate reflection on grief and the maternal relationship, as well as for readers of twentieth-century French literature.
Abraham Albert Cohen was a Greek-born Romaniote Jewish Swiss novelist who wrote in French. He worked as a civil servant for various international organizations, such as the International Labour Organization. He became a Swiss citizen in 1919.
