«Recordatorios» is the first volume of the autobiographical trilogy «El laberinto del mundo» by Marguerite Yourcenar, published by Alfaguara in hardcover.
The narrative begins with the author's birth and focuses on her closest relatives: her father Michel, her mother Fernande, and her cousin Remo. With fragments of memory, erased inscriptions, and old documents, Yourcenar brings these fragile lives to life and uses the past to speak about the present and her own identity.
Trilogy completed with «Archivos del Norte» and «¿Qué? La eternidad». Original title: «Souvenirs pieux» (1974); translation by Emma Calatayud. This edition has 368 pages.
For readers of memoirs and autobiography, as well as those who want to delve into the work of Marguerite Yourcenar.
