Synopsis "La Vida Tranquila (in Spanish)"

Esta novela es considerada como el texto en el que Duras encontró su voz propia, su estilo inconfundible, hecho de violencia poética y de una mirada impasible sobre los acontecimientos, de una reflexión profunda sobre el amor y el desamor, de lazos que se rompen y secretos que se guardan para siempre.
La vida tranquila cuenta, o mejor dicho, rememora, el momento en que el hermano de la narradora se bate a duelo con su tío. A partir de esa incidencia se dispara una historia de amor, locura, incesto y muerte. Ambientada en un clima provincial, cargado de aburrimiento y soledad esencial, la aspiración de tener una vida tranquila aparece como un sueño lejano, inalcanzable.
