About the Book

English summary: Penelope Delta (1874-1941) was the daughter of the president of the Greek community of Alexandria. Her memoirs, written for the edification of her daughters, present an exceptional account of cosmopolitan Greek bourgeois society at the turn of the century. Written in French beginning in 1899, this is the first time this work has been published in its original language. French description: Ce n'est pas seulement par fantaisie ou pour passer le temps que je commence aujourd'hui ce cahier dans lequel je veux ecrire tous mes souvenirs depuis ma plus petite enfance; c'est aussi, c'est surtout, pour mes deux filles, petites aujourd'hui, mais qui un jour seront, si Dieu veut, des jeunes filles, des epouses et meres (sic); je veux que ceci me serve a les guider plus tard dans la vie, car on oublie quand on vieillit, et on n'attache plus aucune importance a des choses qui pourtant en meriteraient beaucoup; c'est pour ne pas oublier a mon tour, pour ne pas traiter, plus tard, legerement, ce que je considere toujours comme tres-important et ce qui m'a tant fait souffrir, que je prends aujourd'hui la resolution de raconter, pendant que je m'en rappelle encore (sic), avec tous les details, toute ma vie d'enfant et surtout de jeune fille. Si cela peut me servir plus tard a aider au bonheur de mes petites filles, je n'aurai pas perdu mon temps; [...] et si plus tard elles lisent jamais ces souvenirs, groupes comme ils me viennent, au moins que cela leur serve de lecon et les aide a marcher droit dans la vie. Fille du president de la Communaute grecque d'Alexandrie Emmanuel Benaki, Penelope Delta (1874-1941) nous a laisse un temoignage exceptionnel sur la grande bourgeoisie grecque et cosmopolite. Ces memoires, rediges des 1899 en francais, et restes jusqu'a maintenant inedits dans cette langue, constituent la premiere oeuvre de cet auteur tres connu en Grece.
