About the author
Marcel Proust
2,158 books7,468 followersMarcel 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.

Què vols que et diga filla meua, 11 mesos de diversió, emocions, avorriment, ganes de enviar-lo a prendre pel cul i flipar molt fort fins arribar al punt d'acompassar el ritme del pensament amb el de la lectura sense la necessitat d'estar amb el llibre davant.
Gràcies a la @Noe perquè fa anys me'l va regalar i per haver confiat en mi aquell dia al Francés.

Lo leí hace mucho tiempo, así que lo pongo para fardar. Estoy en ese selecto club que lo ha leído.
Después me volví miope.
Para el que no quiera meterse con este coloso, el gran Jeremy Irons (junto con Alain Delon) tiene una peliculita sobre uno de los capítulos: «Un amor de Swan».
