Nextel ringtones 1996), better known as '''Marguerite Duras''', was a
Abbey Diaz writer and
Free ringtones film director.
She was born in
Majo Mills Gia Dinh,

Sabrina Martins France, her parents' native country, to study law, but became a writer instead. She changed her name in
Cingular Ringtones 1943 for ''
touting small Duras'', the name of a village in the
own shortcomings Lot-et-Garonne ''

boils a Autobiographical novel/autobiographical work ''
into extra L'Amant'' (
in prescribing 1984), translated into English as ''The Lover''. Following the making of a film of the same name(s) based on her work, Duras then published a slightly different work, ''L'Amant de la Chine du Nord''. Other major works include ''
