Marguerite Duras

Born in 1914 near Saigon (Cochinchina), to a mother who was a schoolteacher and a father who was a mathematics professor, Marguerite Donnadieu settled permanently in France in 1932. She married Robert Antelme in 1939, and published her first novel ( Les Impudents ), under the pseudonym of Marguerite Duras, in 1943. A member of the Resistance during the war, a communist until 1950, having actively participated in May 68, Marguerite Duras developed a considerable protean writing (cinema, theater, press articles, novels and stories). She died on March 3, 1996 in Paris.
