Marcel Proust

Opis

Can we truly know the one we love? In this book, the author looks straight into the green eye of every lover's jealous struggle. It focuses on why we are driven to try possess one another, how jealousy can outlive death, and whether we can ever reclaim those careless days of first love.

Recenzje

Proust sinks deepest in readers because the book is so exhaustively analytical, so ceaselessly truthful... The experience of reading [the book] becomes, in itself, an unforgettable thing Independent

O autorze

Marcel Proust was born in Auteuil in 1871. In his twenties he became a conspicuous society figure, frequenting the most fashionable Paris salons of the day. After 1899, however, his suffering from chronic asthma, the death of his parents and his growing disillusionment with humanity caused him to lead an increasingly retired life. He slept by day and worked by night, writing letters and devoting himself to the completion of A la recherche du temps perdu. He died in 1922 before publication of the last three volumes of his great work.
