«El amante» is the autobiographical novel by Marguerite Duras, published by RBA Coleccionables in hardcover (144 pages, in Spanish).
In French Indochina in the late 1920s, a fifteen-year-old girl, faced with the social and racial differences of colonial society, begins a relationship with a young Chinese millionaire. That forbidden passion confronts her with desire, her family, and the loss of innocence.
Originally published in 1984 as «L'Amant», it won the Prix Goncourt that year. This edition, part of the Grandes Escritoras collection, includes a prologue by Ana María Moix.
Recommended for readers of contemporary classics and French literature who appreciate love stories with a social and historical backdrop.
