      One November day, Gisele Pelicot was called to a local police station and life as she knew it ended. Her husband of fifty years had been caught by a supermarket guard filming up women's skirts. But on his computer was shattering evidence: for nearly a decade, he had been secretly drugging and raping her and inviting dozens of strangers into their home to abuse her.Four years later, he and fifty other men were put on trial and Gisele's courage in waiving her right to anonymity made global headlines. 'Shame must change sides,' she declared, giving voice and hope to millions. Her words became a rallying cry and her decision marked a turning point in public feeling about sexual violence.For the first time, and with unwavering honesty and grace, she describes a difficult childhood, first love, her career and motherhood. It is a life in determined search of happiness, both before and after her devastating discovery. She is an ordinary person who faces extraordinary catastrophe, whose example changes the world.Ultimately, Gisele Pelicot emerges with a renewed passion and reverence for living, and for love. A Hymn to Life is an unforgettable testament and promise: that victims have no reason to feel ashamed; that even after unimaginable betrayal we can go on; and that colour will always return to life.

      Hanba musí zmeniť stranu

      MIMORIADNE SILNÉ MEMOÁRE ŽENY, KTORÁ SA STALA SYMBOLOM ODVAHY A DOSTOJNOSTI Keď Gisèle Pelicot jedného novembrového dňa predvolali na policajnú stanicu, zistila, že manžel jej takmer desať rokov tajne podával omamné látky, znásilňoval ju a umožňoval desiatkam cudzích mužov, aby ju zneužívali. O štyri roky neskôr sa postavila pred súd a jej rozhodnutie vzdať sa práva na anonymitu otriaslo Francúzskom i celým svetom. Jej slová „hanba musí zmeniť stranu" sa stali symbolom boja proti sexuálnemu násiliu. V knihe Óda na život Gisèle Pelicot po prvý raz otvorene rozpráva svoj príbeh - od spomienok na detstvo, prvú lásku, prácu a materstvo až po šokujúce odhalenie, ktoré jej navždy zmenilo život. Je to príbeh obyčajnej ženy, ktorá čelila nepredstaviteľnej zrade, no napriek tomu našla silu ísť ďalej. Jej svedectvo je oslavou nezlomnosti, nádeje a presvedčenia, že ani po najhlbšej traume netreba strácať vieru v život, lásku a možnosť nového začiatku.
