By Marguerite Duras
Published by Tusquets Editores, Barcelona | 1985
Softcover | 160 pages (approx.) | 18 x 11 cm
Language: Spanish
Condition: Very Good
A fevered whisper of memory and desire, El amante (L’amant) is Marguerite Duras’s most iconic and haunting novel an autobiographical confession of a forbidden love that unfolds like a slow-burning cinematic reverie. Set in colonial Indochina, the story follows a young French girl and her illicit relationship with a wealthy Chinese lover, against the backdrop of social tension, poverty, and unspoken repression.
Written in Duras’s unmistakable voice spare, elliptical, and charged with unbearable intimacy this book transcends the limits of memoir and fiction, offering instead a fragmented yet poetic meditation on longing, power, and memory.
Published in 1985 by Tusquets Editores, this Spanish edition captures the sensual weight of Duras’s language in a rare and collectible format. A foundational text of modern literature, and a vital read for those drawn to the intersections of eroticism, exile, and the complexity of womanhood.

We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
The Story
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
