«Recordatorios» is the first instalment of Marguerite Yourcenar's autobiographical trilogy «El laberinto del mundo», published by Alfaguara in paperback.
In this autobiographical work, Marguerite Yourcenar reconstructs her family history from memories, half-erased gravestones and legal papers. She portrays her father Michel, her mother Fernande and her cousin Remo, interweaving intimate memory with the historical novel to reflect on the past, the present and the human condition.
Translation by Emma Calatayud. The trilogy «El laberinto del mundo» is completed by «Archivos del Norte» and «¿Qué? La Eternidad».
This work is intended for readers of memoirs and literary biography, and for those who wish to discover the personal side of Marguerite Yourcenar.
