PREMIO TROPHÉE DE L'ÉDITION A LA AUTORA DEL AÑO Tras el éxito internacional de La postal, la premiada Anne Berest regresa con una nueva y apasionante saga familiar. En plena gira de promoción de La postal, la novela que nació de una postal anónima y conquistó a más de medio millón de lectores, Anne Berest recibe una noticia que hace que todo se detenga: su padre, Pierre, está gravemente enfermo. De pronto, comprende que apenas conoce a ese hombre silencioso, asà como el linaje bretón del que procede. Esta vez la pista llega en forma de cuatro cuadernos escolares en los que su abuelo Eugène dejó escritas sus memorias. A partir de ellos, Berest emprende una investigación Ãntima y apasionante que la conduce hasta Saint-Pol-de-Léon, en el corazón de Finistère, donde a comienzos del pasado siglo su bisabuelo fundó La Bretonne, el primer sindicato de campesinos de la comarca. De las luchas de los agricultores a la ocupación alemana, de la reconstrucción de Brest a mayo del 68, El linaje de Pierre recorre la apasionante historia del siglo XX a lo largo de las vidas de tres generaciones de hombres austeros y obstinados, para contar, en filigrana, la historia de una hija que intenta comprender a su padre antes de que resulte demasiado tarde. Con gran pulso narrativo y una prosa elegante, precisa y emotiva, Anne Berest ha escrito una saga familiar sobre la memoria, la transmisión y todo aquello que heredamos sin palabras, que la confirma como una de las grandes narradoras de nuestros dÃas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION TROPHÉE DE L'ÉDITION AWARD FOR AUTHOR OF THE YEAR After the international success of The Postcard, award-winning author Anne Berest returns with a captivating new family saga. While on a promotional tour for The Postcard, the novel inspired by an anonymous postcard that captivated more than half a million readers, Anne Berest receives news that stops her in her tracks: her father, Pierre, is seriously ill. Suddenly, she realizes how little she knows about this quiet man--or about the Breton lineage he comes from. This time, the trail begins with four school notebooks in which her grandfather Eugène recorded his memories. From there, Berest embarks on an intimate and fascinating investigation that takes her to Saint-Pol-de-Léon, in the heart of Finistère, where, at the beginning of the last century, her great-grandfather founded La Bretonne, the region's first farmers' union. From farmers' struggles to the German occupation, from the reconstruction of Brest to May '68, Pierre's Lineage traces the gripping history of the twentieth century through the lives of three generations of austere, stubborn men. Beneath that sweeping story is the intimate portrait of a daughter trying to understand her father before it is too late. Written with narrative force and elegant, precise, deeply moving prose, Anne Berest's family saga explores memory, inheritance, and everything we receive without words, confirming her place as one of the great storytellers of our time.
