Translated to Arabic, Les années (The Years) memoirs by award winning French author Annie Ernaux (b. 1940) who was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature. Considered by many to be the iconic French memoirist's defining work and a breakout bestseller when published in France in 2008

The Years is a personal narrative of the period 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present—even projections into the future—photos, books, songs, radio, television and decades of advertising, headlines, contrasted with intimate conflicts and writing notes from 6 decades of diaries.
