Marguerite Duras recounts her childhood in Indochina, on a weather-beaten plantation, and the struggle of a ruined mother raising two children alone. The fundamentals of Duras's work are in the making in this "Barrage contre le Pacifique": Indochina, the founding land, the mother, a major figure in Duras's life and work.
Very fine condition.
