«O Amante» is the novel by Marguerite Duras, published by Sic Idea y Creación Editorial in paperback (179 pages, in Portuguese).
«O Amante» explores love and desire through the memory of a relationship between a young French woman and a Chinese man in 1930s Saigon, marked by the complexities of a colonial society and the tensions of the protagonist's family. Semiautobiographical in tone, the novel turns that memory into an intimate narrative.
The novel was originally published in 1984 and won the Prix Goncourt. The Portuguese edition, released in 2008, is a translation by Luísa Costa Gomez and Maria da Piedade Ferreira.
An option for those who appreciate intimate narrative and want to approach a love story set in a colonial context.
