"Le collier des jours: Souvenirs de ma vie" by Judith Gautier is a autobiographical narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The work reflects on the early childhood experiences of the author, focusing on her relationships, emotions, and perceptions as she grows. It captures the innocence of childhood along with the complex feelings that surface during her formative years, particularly regarding her bond with her nurse and her understanding of social
hierarchies. At the start of the narrative, Judith Gautier introduces herself and her initial experiences in life, mentioning an extraordinary passion that marked her entry into the world. She recounts a dramatic and passionate beginning, marked by a fierce desire to resist birth itself. This vivid recollection sets the tone for her reflections on her childhood, including her relationship with her nurturing nurse, Damon, and the familial dynamics around her. The scenes depicted show Judith's early memories with great clarity, showcasing the tender yet tumultuous nature of her emotional landscape, as she navigates her environment filled with tenderness, jealousy, and an awakening consciousness of her position in the world.
