Books like La douleur by Marguerite Duras


La dernière guerre, Marguerite Duras lʹa vécue tout à la fois comme femme dont le mari avait été déporté, comme résistante, mais aussi, comme écrivain. Lucide, étonnée, désespérée parfois, elle a, pendant ces années, tenu un journal, écrit des textes que lui inspirait tout ce quʹelle voyait, ce quʹelle vivait, les gens quʹelle rencontrait ou affrontait.

Moderato cantabile by 8843258|Marguerite Duras book cover

📘 Moderato cantabile

"Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire, moderato cantabile ? — Je ne sais pas." Une leçon de piano, un enfant obstiné, une mère aimante, pas de plus simple expression de la vie tranquille d'une ville de province. Mais un cri soudain vient déchirer la trame, révélant sous la retenue de ce récit d'apparence classique une tension qui va croissant dans le silence jusqu'au paroxysme final. "Quand même, dit Anne Desbarèdes, tu pourrais t'en souvenir une fois pour toutes. Moderato, ça veut dire modéré, et cantabile, ça veut dire chantant, c'est facile." Paru en 1958, ce roman de Marguerite Duras a été traduit dans le monde entier.
