One of the most important women's rights activists, Benoîte Groult crafts a delicate eulogy to maturity. In a sensitive and disturbing book, she unleashes her lucidity against the phobia of old age, a torment for both men and women, and defends the passage of time as a conquest of experience, not a loss of youth. \"Old age is the loneliest of navigations,\" she reveals. In this desert lies the placid strength of a woman who lived her dreams. Benoîte seeks to give a personal account of her experiences. She rambles, discusses, and narrates, with impetus, compassion, and often good humor, the story of Marion, her mother Alice, and Moira, the Greek goddess of fate and the inexorable. Through this mythical figure who observes, condemns, judges, and sometimes intervenes in the lives of other characters, the author invites the reader to reflect alongside her, to question and contemplate the world. Benoîte opens our minds. We are her imaginary friends: accomplices and companions in reflections on death, love, women, the complexity of human relationships, and the power of passion. Here we find her unwavering love for the sea, her confidence in the feminine, and the search for marital balance—recurring themes in her work. She dissects three generations of women to renew their passions and wonders, in magnificent pages about the bonds that unite women: mothers, daughters, and sisters. A review of a journey dedicated to freedom, A TOUCH ON THE STAR doesn't hide the dangers or the demands that accompany it. It doesn't propose simple arguments, it doesn't offer ready-made answers. It reveals the honesty and courage of its author. It delves, indeed, into the mysteries of existence. Mysteries like reaching the final destination with the strange sensation that we've learned a little more about ourselves.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159462822140,"sku":"9788501079121","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/314aa3211a872fc320e7a57bb6f4f191.jpg?v=1778321969"},{"product_id":"minha-fuga","title":"My escape","description":"Normal 0 21 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 \/* Style Definitions *\/ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:\"Normal Table\"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:\"\"; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-to-margin:0cm; mso-to-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:\"Times New Roman\"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} Benoîte Groult's strength lies in her perspective: sincere, uncompromising, and at the same time delicate and joyful. An eternal voice of French feminism and one of the most important activists for women's rights, Groult reconstructs her journey, her tireless search for freedom, in \"My Escape.\" In this alert, ironic, and honest autobiography, a reflection of this irreverent woman, Groult spares nothing: her relationship with her parents, her sister, her lovers, her husbands, her abortions. And, above all, her tortuous path from occupied France, the end of Nazism, her hope for peace, to her liberation as a woman. With her fluid, pleasant style, sometimes melancholic, sometimes scathing, Benoîte Groult makes us share the conclusions of her feminist reflections, her experiences. By uncovering the significant moments of her story, she revisits, more than a decade later, the \"Histoire d'une évasion,\" a success with both audiences and critics. This time, to illuminate the areas left in the shadows—voluntarily, as she herself admits. Her frankness and insouciance are amplified by age and the certainty that any life is a form of escape. That at every moment, we must cut ties, break the silence, scream, break habits: escape. Daughter of dressmaker Nicole Poiret and André Goult, a natural sciences graduate and furniture maker, Benoîte speaks unabashedly of her men and her marriages. First with Pierre Heuyer, her first love, who died of tuberculosis; then with Georges de Caunes, a seductive reporter with whom she had numerous abortions; and Paul Guimard, her companion until maturity, a match in body and intellect. She dissects, above all, her struggles. First, in search of herself, against the strength of her maternal figure, the placidity of her father, and later, in search of a place in the scheme of things. \"My Escape\" is the account of this transformation, of this journey. The metamorphosis of the young Parisian bourgeois woman, who survived the horrors of war, rationing, and the expectation of a fairytale marriage, into an intellectual, a militant feminist, and, finally, a renowned writer.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175418773756,"sku":"9788501088529","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/b948cadb38ffe48e1f32bddb6824e7c4.jpg?v=1778315729"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/benoite-groult.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
