First Edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 296 pages; Description: xix, 296 p. ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. Subjects: Duras, Marguerite --Women authors, French --Diaries --Authors, French --20th century. Published for the first time in english, the World War II notebooks of one of the twentieth century's most renowned literary figures. For decades it has been known that Marguerite Duras had kept four notebooks in a blue closet in her country home in France. But until now no one understood the importance of the material that she had written in the period between 1943 and 1949. Here are the first drafts of her most famous works, the true stories behindThe Lover, The War, and several other classics. This book is truly the seventh veil to be lifted by Duras in her multivolume autobiography. Each volume has come closer to the raw truth; here at last are the secrets that have remained hidden for all this time. In these remarkable writings we discover the difficult, poignant circumstances of Duras's upbringing in colonial Vietnam, where her desperate mother was eager to sell her to the man who became known as "the lover." Here too is her repulsion at her first kiss and her unhappiness at this forced liaison. Once she emigrates to France, we follow her life through the war into the Liberation and the horrific events that she observed in the presence of the resistance members, who interrogated and tortured former collaborators. She also tells of the horrendous effect of finding her husband, returning nearly dead from the Nazi concentration camps. Throughout, Duras paints an unflinching picture of this troubled period. Everyone who has been interested in Duras's life and work will find this an utterly absorbing volume. These first writings are the closest we will get to the truth of Duras's inner life and thoughts at a critical point in her career. 1 Kg.

Hard Cover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First Thus 1st Printing. BOOK: Boards Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards; Edges Lightly Soiled. DUST JACKET: Lightly Chipped; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SUB-TITLE: A Memoir. ALSO KNOWN AS: Originally published in France in 1992 as L'avenir dure longtemps, suivi de Les faits by Editions STOCK/IMEC. TRANSLATED BY: Richard Veasey. CONTENTS: Introduction, by Douglas Johnson; Editors' Foreword; The Future Lasts Forever; The Facts. SYNOPSIS: On November 16, 1980, Louis Althusser, while massaging his wife's neck, discovered he had strangled her. The world-renowned French philosopher was immediately confined to an insane asylum, and his murderous act was officially deemed "temporary insanity." Althusser's memoirs, written in his years of confinement, offer a far more complex and intriguing explanation. An instant bestseller in France, this powerful literary document is now available to American audiences for the first time. Reminiscent to many readers of Strindberg's Diary of a Madman, Althusser's book is clearly an explanation designed to persuade the world, and perhaps himself, of his innocence. But The Future Lasts Forever is much more - it s a profound yet subtle exercise in documenting madness from the inside. With a preface by Douglas Johnson, Emeritus Professor of French at London University. Born in 1918, Louis Althusser was one of the most influential French thinkers of the post-war period. The author of Reading Capital, For Marx, and many other books, he lived in Paris until his death in 1990. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
