«El Amante» is a novel by Marguerite Duras, published by RBA in paperback (143 pages, in Spanish).
Set in French Indochina in the late 1920s, it tells the story of a fifteen-year-old French girl who begins a relationship with a much older, wealthy Chinese man. Between desire and incomprehension, the novel addresses differences of class, race and age, as well as the protagonist's sentimental awakening.
Originally published in 1984 as «L'Amant», it won the Prix Goncourt that year; first instalment of the series «The Lover». This edition includes a prologue by Ana María Moix.
For readers of romantic fiction and French classics with a historical backdrop.
