«El amante» is Marguerite Duras's semi-autobiographical novel, published by Planeta in hardback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Set in colonial French Indochina, the novel evokes the romance between a fifteen-year-old French adolescent and a wealthy Chinese merchant. Duras blends that passion with the portrait of a torn family and the memory of one who writes from maturity; desire, poverty, and class differences run through the story.
Novel awarded the Prix Goncourt in 1984 and adapted into film in 1992. Part of Planeta's International Contemporary Classics collection.
For readers of French literature and autobiographical fiction, especially those seeking twentieth-century classics with a colonial backdrop.
Marguerite Germaine Marie Donnadieu, known as Marguerite Duras, was a French novelist, playwright, screenwriter, essayist, and experimental filmmaker. Her script for the film Hiroshima mon amour (1959) earned her a nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the Academy Awards.
