About the author

Marcel Proust was a French novelist, best known for his 3000 page masterpiece À la recherche du temps perdu (Remembrance of Things Past or In Search of Lost Time), a pseudo-autobiographical novel told mostly in a stream-of-consciousness style.

Born in the first year of the Third Republic, the young Marcel, like his narrator, was a delicate child from a bourgeois family. He was active in Parisian high society during the 80s and 90s, welcomed in the most fashionable and exclusive salons of his day. However, his position there was also one of an outsider, due to his Jewishness and homosexuality. Towards the end of 1890s Proust began to withdraw more and more from society, and although he was never entirely reclusive, as is sometimes made out, he lapsed more completely into his lifelong tendency to sleep during the day and work at night. He was also plagued with severe asthma, which had troubled him intermittently since childhood, and a terror of his own death, especially in case it should come before his novel had been completed. The first volume, after some difficulty finding a publisher, came out in 1913, and Proust continued to work with an almost inhuman dedication on his masterpiece right up until his death in 1922, at the age of 51.

Today he is widely recognized as one of the greatest authors of the 20th Century, and À la recherche du temps perdu as one of the most dazzling and significant works of literature to be written in modern times.

Me he pegado la mitad de la historia queriendo ahogar al protagonista con mis propias manos, así que dudo que pudiera aguantar las más de 1000 páginas del texto original de Proust, pero al ser formato manga me ha resultado curioso de leer y ha tenido sus momentos I guess.

If my memory serves me right, the chronology of events is not the same as they are in the original heptalogy. To name a few, the opening scenes of Sodom and Gomorrah (the novel) and Sodom and Gomorrah (the manga) are different from each other. Although the reader learns that Albertine dies in the sixth book (The Fugitive), this dramatic event is portrayed in The Captive part of the manga universe. However, the illustrated characters are very likeable. The visual interpretation of Marcel in particular helped me to get a new perspective about the character with its cuteness. That being said, this is a very brief rendition of the prominent novel sequence, not an exhaustive one.

Excelente.
Apesar do mangá reduzir a obra original (nunca li), já dá pra ter uma boa imersão.
O narrador no começo parece meio mimado e sem graça mas conforme a estória se desenrola, ele vai conhecendo pessoas estranhas e você começa a se identificar com os problemas dele e o personagem do narrador passa a se tornar mais independente e rico em valores e carisma.

Uma surpresa! Tenho vontade de ler o original.

Deu saudade dos livros e to usando esse mangá para saciar um pouco dela. O mangá resume bastante, acaba passando apenas pelos acontecimentos mais importantes (se bem que cortou um que na minha opinião não deveria: O Amor de Swann) e deixa os pensamentos enormes do Proust de canto, mas seria difícil coloca-los em um mangá rs Achei uma graça o desenho dos personagens, o narrador em especial, e principalmente o desenho dos lugares que o Proust tanto descreve na Recherche. O capítulo final que adapta o última livro da Recherche foi de longe o mais bonito, me lembrou a sensação de quando terminei a obra.

Para quem não leu o original, talvez seja interessante para se ter uma noção dos personagens e da história antes de adentrar nessa jornada que é ler Em Busca do Tempo Perdido. Não precisa se preocupar com os spoilers, pois são os menos importantes em Proust.

Agradezco un montón la adaptación de estas grandes obras a cómic. Te da la oportunidad de conocerlas. Me ha enamorado y estoy deseando tener la oportunidad de leer la original. ¿Quién no ha querido volver a la infancia y no perder bellos recuerdos? Proust trata muchísimos temas, como la identidad sexual, considerado tabú en esos tiempos, a la vez que nos habla de sus propias vivencias.

Muy entretenido.
Una forma rápida y diferente de acercarse a una de las obras literarias más importante.
Es el primer manga que leo. Pretendo leer la obra original, pero me pareció atractivo, primero leer el manga, sobre todo sabiendo que el texto de Proust tiene fama de ser complejo de leer.
Voy por la segunda parte del manga.

A great way to understand the skeleton of the plot, to either refresh after reading or to get a base idea before reading. It’s an interesting read, and glad I did it, but it can’t really capture any of the magic of the prose of Proust.

En algún momento volveré al original y lo acabaré (o no...), pero mientras tanto es una muy buena aproximación, bien adaptado, legible y entretenido.
