«Un barrage contre le Pacifique» is the novel by Marguerite Duras published by Folioplus classiques in paperback, with 369 pages, in French.
Set in French Indochina, the novel follows a widow and her two children, who eke out a living on a land concession that the Pacific floods again and again. The mother tries to build dikes against the sea, while precariousness and social injustice paint a portrait of a hostile colonial environment.
The work was originally published in 1950; this Folioplus classiques edition includes the complete text, a dossier by Jean-Luc Vincent, and an image reading by Isabelle Varloteaux.
For students of French literature and for those seeking a twentieth-century classic with reading support material.
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.
