L'edifici el vam trobar per casualitat un dia passejant per París però no vam acabar d"entendre la seva funció, en la novel.la queda ben explicat. (  ) Nuriagarciaturu | Nov 5, 2021 | Solène is forced to re-examine her life as a self-centred, careerist lawyer when the suicide of one of her clients provokes a nervous breakdown. She — rather reluctantly — follows the advice of her therapist and signs on to do some voluntary work, and finds herself assigned to writing letters for the residents of a women's hostel, the Salvation Army's Palais de la Femme. She meets a succession of the residents, who tell her their stories: each of them conveniently turns out to be an exemplar of a different social problem that we should know about (domestic violence, FGM, drugs, alcohol, long-term homelessness, prostitution, unemployment, mental health issues, and so on). And of course she feels an unexpected connection with their lives, is plunged into further depression when one of the women proves to be beyond the point where she can accept anyone's help, but then recovers when she finds herself in a position to engage personally with a young woman in trouble. And just in case we were wondering whether the total lack of irony in this story was itself deliberately ironic in some way, it all ends with a truly Dickensian Christmas lunch. No, really! So it's not a very good novel. In fact it's a terrible novel, and it would perhaps never have got published if the author wasn't an actress who already had an undoubted bestseller to her credit. But I still found it very interesting, and I'm glad I came across it. The story of the Palais de la Femme and its residents is fascinating, and if the author had done what anyone else would have done with her research material and published it as a series of feature articles in a magazine, I would probably never have seen it. And the message of the book, corny though it is, is an important one: we can't solve most social problems by sitting around talking about how they should be solved structurally and who would be the most competent people to do it; the people who really make a difference in the world are the ones who leap in, Salvation-Army-style, when they see that something is wrong, and do what they can to fix it in a way that makes a real difference for the individuals who are suffering. Whether or not they have any realistic hope of solving the problem. In her epigraph, Colombani quotes the famous closing lines of William Booth's 1912 address in the Royal Albert Hall: While women weep, as they do now, I’ll fight; while children go hungry, as they do now I’ll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight; while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll fight, I’ll fight to the very end! (  ) thorold | Mar 11, 2021 |  ) Martapagessala | Jul 26, 2020 | Dort lernt Solène eine ihr fremde Welt kennen, und auch sie wird zunächst kritisch beäugt. Aber ganz allmählich fasst man Vertrauen zu ihr und selbst Solène gelingt es, ihr Ehrenamt als sinnvoll zu betrachten. Eingebettet in diese Geschichte wird der Kampf der Heilsarmistin Blanche Peyron um die Einrichtung des Hauses als Schutzstätte für Frauen im frühen 20. Jahrhundert beschrieben. Laetitia Colombani schafft es, die sich zunächst trocken anhörende Historie mit viel Leben zu erfüllen und ganz nebenbei erfährt man auch einiges über die Heilsarmee. Gleichzeitig wird deutlich, wie sehr diese Einrichtung - das Haus der Frauen oder kurz: der Palast - auch heute noch benötigt werden und wie groß die Unterschiede in den Lebensbedingungen von Frauen auch heute noch in einer Stadt sind. Für mich thematisch ein sehr bereicherndes Buch, der auch in der Übersetzung flüssige Schreibstil hat das Lesevergnügen dann noch gesteigert.

Un himno a la solidaridad y a la esperanza donde Colombani da voz a las vencedoras anónimas de la historia. A los cuarenta años, Solène lo ha sacrificado todo por su carrera como abogada: sus sueños, sus amigos y sus amores, hasta que un día se derrumba y se sume en una profunda depresión. Para ayudarla a recuperarse, su médico le aconseja que haga tareas de voluntariado. Poco convencida, Solène encuentra por internet un anuncio que despierta su curiosidad y decide interesarse por él. Enviada a un hogar para mujeres con grave riesgo de exclusión social, tiene problemas para relacionarse con las residentes, que se muestran distantes y esquivas; pero poco a poco irá ganando su confianza y descubrirá hasta qué punto desea estar tan viva como ellas. Un siglo antes, Blanche Peyron libra un combate. Comandante del Ejército de Salvación en Francia, abriga el sueño de ofrecer un techo a todas las excluidas de la sociedad. Con ese fin, en 1925 comienza a recaudar los fondos necesarios para comprar un hotel monumental, y un año después el Palacio de la Mujer abre sus puertas. El Palacio de la Mujer existe y Las vencedoras nos invita a entrar en él para descubrir la dura realidad de sus habitantes. Con el mismo estilo de La trenza, Laetitia Colombani borda un emotivo canto a la fuerza de las mujeres que nos habla de pérdidas y sufrimientos, de bondad y fraternidad, que nos seduce por su empatía y nos acerca vívidamente a la trágica existencia de esas personas invisibles para la sociedad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A hymn to solidarity and hope where Colombani, author of The Braid, gives voice to those anonymous winners in history. At age forty, Solène has sacrificed everything for her career as a lawyer: her dreams, her friends, and her love life, until one day she collapses and sinks into a deep depression. To help her recover, the doctors advise her to do some volunteer work. Unconvinced, Solène searches online and finds an ad that incites her curiosity and decides to take an interest in it. She is then sent to a home for women at serious risk of social exclusion; at first she has trouble relating to residents, who are distant and elusive, but little by little she will gain their trust and discover how much she really doesn't want to be as removed from life as they are. A century earlier, Blanche Peyron wins a battle. Commander of the Salvation Army in France, she harbors the dream of giving a roof to all those excluded from society. To that end, in 1925 she began to raise the necessary funds to buy a monumental hotel, and a year later the Palacio de la Mujer (Palace for Women) opened its doors. The Palace for Women exists and Las vencedoras invites us in to discover the harsh reality of its residents. In this novel Colombani offers an emotional song about the force of women that talks about loss and suffering, as well as kindness and fraternity. It seduces the reader with its empathy and sheds a light on the tragic existence of those that are invisible to society. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
