About this item

BESTELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES Próximamente un documental en HBO Max EL ILUMINADOR LIBRO DE MEMORIAS DE UNA HEROÍNA DE NUESTRO TIEMPO. UN ACONTECIMIENTO EDITORIAL SIMULTÁNEO EN 20 PAÍSES. Una mañana de noviembre, Gisèle Pelicot fue llamada a una comisaría y la vida tal como la conocía llegó a su fin. Su marido había sido sorprendido por un guardia de seguridad de un supermercado grabando por debajo de la falda a varias mujeres. En su ordenador aparecieron otras pruebas devastadoras: durante casi una década, había estado drogándola y violándola en secreto, e invitando a desconocidos a su casa para que abusaran de ella. Cuatro años después, él y otros cincuenta hombres fueron llevados a juicio, y el coraje de Gisèle al renunciar a su derecho al anonimato ocupó los titulares en todo el mundo. «La vergüenza debe cambiar de bando», declaró, dando voz y esperanza a millones de personas. Por primera vez, y con una franqueza y elegancia inquebrantables, Gisèle cuenta toda su historia, partiendo de esa fatídica mañana y reviviendo una infancia difícil, su primer amor, su carrera, la maternidad, la intimidad de su matrimonio antes y después del demoledor descubrimiento y el continuo afán de buscar la felicidad, incluso cuando esta pueda parecer imposible, para reconstruirse. Escritas junto a la premiada periodista y novelista Judith Perrignon, estas luminosas memorias suponen un acontecimiento editorial mundial de enorme profundidad y trascendencia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The book that inspired the upcoming documentary on HBO Max A Hymn to Life will tell Gisèle Pelicot’s story in her words, offer solace and hope, and make a positive contribution to changing the conversation around shame and to changing the world In 2024, Gisèle Pelicot inspired millions of people with her astonishing courage and dignity as she chose to waive her right to anonymity in her legal fight against her husband and the fifty men accused of her sexual assault. By the time Dominique Pelicot and the dozens of men accused were found guilty, Gisèle had become a global icon in the campaign against sexual violence, galvanizing a movement that triggered protests and demonstrations around the world in her support. “I hear lots of women, and men, who say you’re very brave,” she addressed the courtroom. “I say it’s not bravery, it’s will and determination to change society.” Gisèle Pelicot’s call for shame to change sides in cases of sexual abuse, and the solidarity she has shown survivors, have generated an extraordinary public response and moved both women and men all over the world. On December 19, 2024, when Pelicot walked down the steps of the Avignon courthouse at the culmination of the biggest rape trial in French history, she spoke to a cheering crowd of hundreds of people: “When I opened the doors to this trial on 2 September, I wanted society to be able to take part in this debate. I have never regretted that decision,” she continued. “I have confidence in our ability to collectively grasp a future in which everyone, women and men alike, can live in harmony, with mutual respect and understanding.”
