С другой — летопись смутных времен, наступивших после развала СССР, размышление о поисках смысла там, где его приходится создавать из представлений о прекрасном будущем и ранящего опыта прожитых лет. «Стыдные подвиги» — это галерея портретов эпохи, каждый день которой приходится делать выбор между выгодой и совестью.

Dreizehn Tage nach dem Tod ihrer Mutter im Jahr 1986 schreibt Annie Ernaux ein kurzes, schmerzhaftes Requiem. Und lässt die Mutter als Repräsentantin einer Zeit und eines Milieus auferstehen, das auch das ihre war.
