«Souvenirs pieux» is the memoir by Marguerite Yourcenar, published by Gallimard in the Folio collection in paperback format (384 pages, in French).
The work opens with the account of the author's own birth to explore her origins: who her mother was, who died shortly after childbirth, and who her father was. Drawing on family memories and documents, Yourcenar reconstructs the world she came from and reflects on identity, memory, and the passage of generations in a specific territory.
It is the first installment of the trilogy «El laberinto del mundo», known by its original title «Le Labyrinthe du monde», by Marguerite Yourcenar, originally published in 1974.
Marguerite Yourcenar was a Belgian-born French novelist and essayist who became a US citizen in 1947. Winner of the Prix Femina and the Erasmus Prize, she was the first woman elected to the Académie Française, in 1980. In 1965, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
