«El amante» is the autobiographical novel by Marguerite Duras, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
The author recalls her adolescence in colonial Indochina: a poor fifteen-year-old girl and a wealthy twenty-six-year-old Chinese merchant live a passionate relationship. Desire intersects with family tensions, love and hate, and a maturity that comes too soon.
Originally published as «L'Amant» in 1984, it won the Prix Goncourt that year. Translation by Ana María Moix.
For readers of literary and romantic fiction, interested in French classics and love stories with an autobiographical background.
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.
