About This Item
Paris: Gallimard, 1991. Fine. Gallimard, Paris 1991, 15x21,5cm, broché. - « J'ai écrit l'histoire de l'amant de la Chine du Nord et de l'enfant : elle n'était pas encore là dans L'Amant, le temps manquait autour d'eux. » Édition originale, un des 70 exemplaires numérotés sur vélin pur chiffon de Rives, seuls grands papiers. Plus qu'une réécriture de L'Amant, paru sept ans plus tôt, ce nouveau récit de son initiation sexuelle orientale, rédigé en parallèle de l'adaptation de Jean-Jacques Annaud, est une mise en abîme du premier roman et de sa version cinématographique et une relecture des souvenirs de l'écrivain, autour de la figure centrale de « L'enfant"", à laquelle n'est attribuée que ce nom générique. « J'ai écrit ce livre dans le bonheur fou de l'écrire. [...] Je suis restée dans l'histoire avec ces gens et seulement avec eux. » Exemplaire à l'état de neuf. [ENGLISH TRANSLATION FOLLOWS] L'amant de la Chine du nord [The North China Lover], Gallimard, Paris 1991, 15x21,5cm, original wrappers. First edition, one of 70 numbered copies on vélin pur chiffon de Rives, the only deluxe issue (grands papiers). A copy in perfectly mint condition of this novel hailed by the French critics as a return to ""the Duras of the great books and the great days,"" giving a mature and complex outlook on the dramatic experiences of Duras's adolescence.
