Opis

This book combines a Nietzschean reading of Proust's novel A la recherche du temps perdu with a Proustian reading of Nietzsche's philosophy. It focuses on the problem of knowledge, the status of the self, the experience of transcendence, and the complex time structures in the works of the two writers.

Recenzje

Admirably combative approach ... engrossing and highly persuasive investigation ... one is sorry to come to the end of this absorbing demonstration of what a sympathetic and keen-eared comparatism can do to reconcile reluctant bedfellows, to their mutual benefit.
