About this title

Synopsis

En 1984, Doris Lessing a r�v�l� avoir �crit deux romans sous le pseudonyme de Jane Somers. Journal d'une voisine, auquel succ�dera Si vieillesse pouvait, est le premier de ces r�cits. Il �voque la rencontre de deux femmes : Jane Somers, r�dactrice en chef d'un magazine f�minin londonien, et Maudie, une vieille dame, solitaire et malade. Sans jamais se d�partir du soup�on de distance ironique qui fait la force de son �criture, Doris Lessing d�crit avec talent les rapports qui se nouent entre ces deux �tres, la tentative d'apprivoisement de l'une par l'autre, les combats d�sesp�r�s de Maudie pour sauver sa dignit�, l'amiti� qui na�t, profonde et bouleversante. A travers ce tableau intime et humain qui est avant tout une r�flexion sur la vieillesse, l'auteur porte un regard impitoyable sur notre �poque, ses aveuglements, et le r�le qui chacun d�cide ou non d'y jouer.

About the Author

N�e en 1919 de parents britanniques � Kermanshah (Iran), Doris Lessing passe son enfance en Rhod�sie.

Aujourd’hui mondialement connue, elle est l’auteur d’une œuvre consid�rable : plus de quarante titres, essentiellement des romans – parmi lesquels Le Carnet d’or (prix M�dicis �tranger 1976) et Les Enfants de la violence–, mais aussi des nouvelles, des pi�ces de th��tre, des po�mes, des t�moignages et souvenirs.
