The Square / Moderato Cantabile / 10:30 on a Summer Night by Marguerite Duras
In this volume of four short novels, Duras demonstrates her remarkable ability to create an emotional intensity and unity by focusing on the intimate details of the relationships among only a few cental characters: from the park bench couple in The Square (1955) to the double love triangle in 10:30 on a Summer Night (1960), each novel probes the depths and complexities of human emotion, of love and of despair. Exceptional for their range in mood and situation, these four novels are unparalleled exhibitions of a poetic beauty that is uniquely Duras.Marguerite Duras was one of Europe's most distinguished authors. She is best recognized outside of France for her filmscript Hiroshima Mon Amour and her Prix Goncourt-winning novel THE LOVER, which was also adapted into a film. LA DOLEUR, BLUE EYES BLACK HAIR, SUMMER RAIN, and THE NORTH CHINA LOVER are among her other works. Marguerite Duras was born in Indochina in 1914 and died in 1996.
