Маргерит Дюрас — библиография

Set in the prewar Indochina of Marguerite Duras's childhood, this is the haunting tale of a tumultuous affair between an adolescent French girl and her Chinese lover. In spare yet luminous prose, Duras evokes life on the margins of Saigon in the waning days of France's colonial empire, and its representation in the passionate relationship between two unforgettable outcasts.

Never-before translated work from one of France's most renowned authors. Duras also made Abahn Sabana David into the film Jaune le soleil, which is one reason why this title will appeal to professors of film studies in addition to those teaching French or comp lit. This is the third book of Duras's to come out from Open Letter, which includes The Sailor from Gibraltar, one of the press's best-selling, and most widely adopted, titles. It reads like a play in prose, and will be compelling to fans of Samuel Beckett, Tennessee Williams, or other modernist playwrights.

Elisabeth Alione is convalescing in a hotel in rural France when she meets two men and another woman. The sophisticated dalliance among the four serves to obscure an underlying violence, which, when the curtain of civilization is drawn aside, reveals in her fellow guests a very contemporary, perhaps even new, form of insanity. Like many of Duras's novels, Destroy, She Said owes much to cinema, displaying a skillful interplay of dialogue and description. There are recurring moods and motifs from the Duras repertoire:…

Роман "Моряк из Гибралтара" — это романтическая история встречи мужчины, разочаровавшегося в своей жизни, с хозяйкой яхты, путешествующей по всему свету, в поисках любимого человека. Однако тот, словно мираж, непостижимо исчезает отовсюду, где оставил свои следы. В ходе совместного путешествия между мужчиной и женщиной возникает сильное чувство, переходящее в романтическую любовь.

30-е годы. Колониальный Сайгон. Красивый, богатый, изысканный китаец знакомится с француженкой. Ей лет пятнадцать. Их любовь под родительским запретом. Но такую «империю чувств», пленительную и прочную, разрушить никому не дано.
