«Moderato Cantabile» is the novel by Marguerite Duras, published by Les Éditions de Minuit in paperback (166 pages, in French).
During her son's piano lesson, Anne Desbaresdes hears a scream: in a café, a woman dies at the hands of a man. Anne returns to the place and talks with an unknown witness. Between wine and silences, Duras builds a growing tension around desire, death and the monotony of provincial bourgeois life.
Originally published in 1958, this edition is the second title in the Minuit «Double» collection.
