Marcel Proust (1871-1922), est un écrivain français, dont l'oeuvre principale est une suite romanesque intitulée À la recherche du temps perdu, publiée de 1913 à 1927. En 1907, Marcel Proust commence l'écriture de son grand œuvre À la recherche du temps perdu dont les sept tomes seront publiés entre 1913 (Du côté de chez Swann) et 1927, c'est-à-dire en partie après sa mort ; le second volume, À l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs, obtiendra le prix Goncourt en 1919. Marcel Proust meurt épuisé, le 18 novembre 1922, d'une bronchite mal soignée : il est inhumé au cimetière du Père-Lachaise à Paris, accompagné par une assistance nombreuse qui salue un écrivain d'importance que les générations suivantes placeront au plus haut en faisant de lui un véritable mythe littéraire.

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.
