El Amante/The Lover
|
| | | A todos emociona sin duda esta narracin autobiogrfica en la que la autora expresa, con la intensidad del deseo, esa historia de amor entre una adolescente de quince aos y un rico comerciante chino de veintisis. Esa jovencita bellsima, pero pobre, que vive en Indochina, no es otra que la propia escritora quien, hoy, recuerda las relaciones apasionadas, de intensos amor y odio, que desgarraron a su familia y, de pronto, grabaron prematuramente en su rostro los implacables surcos de la madurez. Pocas personas en particular mujeres permanecern inmunes a la contagiosa pasin que emana de este libro.
| Author Bio| Marguerite Duras | | Marguerite Duras studied law and political science at the Sorbonne, where she was active in leftist circles. Upon graduation, she was married and worked as a secretary in the French Ministry of Colonies. Duras portrayed herself as a member of the Resistance during the German occupation of France in 1940, but actually worked for a German-controlled bureau that, among other things, censored books, and had a friend (who was possibly her lover) in the Gestapo. Duras denied any involvement with the Germans and after the war became an even more committed leftist than she was in her youth. Duras won the prix Goncourt in 1984 for her novel THE LOVER, which was also made into a film. She wrote the screenplay for the celebrated film HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR. Her last book was a memoir, NO MORE ("C'EST TOUT), which chronicles her approach toward death in early 1996. |
