«El dolor» is the novel by Marguerite Duras, published in 1985 by Plaza & Janés in paperback (218 pages, in Spanish).
El dolor focuses on the degradation of the human being during World War II: absence, torture inflicted or received, the deliberate destruction of man by man, and Nazi barbarism. Duras adopts a woman's gaze, victim and executioner at once, to address collective guilt and memory.
Original title: La douleur. Translation by Clara Janés. Plaza & Janés Literature collection.
Will appeal to readers of twentieth-century European literature and memoirs about World War II, as well as those who already know Duras through El amante.
