Amazon.com
Marcel Proust whiled away the first half of his life as a self-conscious aesthete and social climber. The second half he spent in the creation of the mighty roman-fleuve that is Remembrance of Things Past, memorializing his own dandyism and parvenu hijinks even as he revealed their essential hollowness. Proust begins, of course, at the beginning--with the earliest childhood perceptions and sorrows. Then, over several thousand pages, he retraces the course of his own adolescence and adulthood, democratically dividing his experiences among the narrator and a sprawling cast of characters. Who else has ever decanted life into such ornate, knowing, wrought-iron sentences? Who has subjected love to such merciless microscopy, discriminating between the tiniest variations of desire and self-delusion? Who else has produced a grief-stricken record of time's erosion that can also make you laugh for entire pages? The answer to all these questions is: nobody.
From School Library Journal
Adult/High School-In 1998, French cartoonist Heuet began a planned 12-volume project to recast Marcel Proust's opus as a full-color graphic novel. This second in the series to be translated into English continues the story of a young man so sensitive to his surroundings that even the memory of scents and tastes fills his thoughts and colors his health. He accompanies his grandmother to the seaside at Balbec, eagerly anticipating the drama of the waves he imagines can be viewed from the 12th-century church, but resigned to a lengthy stay at a tourist hotel where the concept of social class takes on a nearly gladiatorial pitch. Heuet's illustrations key in to the newness of electric lighting, the frivolity of fashions, and the rigidity of correct facial expressions and postures. Both narrative frames and speech bubbles are studded with Proustian turns of phrase. While certainly no substitute for the original, the book offers a wealth of period and aesthetic detail that will delight artists and readers.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Having just gotten my B.A. a couple of years ago I must have been in an ambitious mood or something, because I decided to read the whole of In Search of Lost Time, cover to cover, pausing only for food and sleep. It's the sort of work that looks more like Mount Everest than a regular ol' novel when you first start reading it, but it turned out to be one of the best companions I could have asked for over the past few years. Proust was a mmaster of the cooly detatched but almost unbelievably sensitive description of human motivation, and his perspective on the harmless, but decadent latter-day French aristocracy whose attitudes and practices provie most of the material for the seven books in the series, is deeply selfish and amoral, but also inexhaustibly curious and sympathetic. This constrast comes out most noticeably in The Captive and The Fugitive, which basically consist of several hundred pages of reflection upon Proust's love affair with a young girl named Albertine. The pair of novels are full of long, sustained reflections on the nature of love, and upon the deep mysteries that attend upon trying to understand what makes other people tick. There is an especially lovely passage in which Proust describes the feelings he undergoes while watching Albertine sleep. By the time of the end of the novel, though, the reader finds himself left with the curious sense that one doesn't actually know anything at all concrete about the "Fugitive" Albertine. Nobody was better than Proust at dissecting the motives and the mores of other people without ever gining in to the novelist's illusion that he understood them better than they did themselves. I recommend these novels to anyone who is up for a bit of a challenge (even Scott Moncrieff's lovely translation of the French could never make Proust an "easy read"), and who is prepared to be enlightened by the reading of a novel even if it doesn't issue in the usual "payoff" of a sense of superior understanding in relation to the charatcters depicted there.
Format:Taschenbuch
Along with all the superlatives written by other people - let me add something else - what a sly sense of humor he has! Imagine conversing with an aristocratic dowerger, her very "modern" daughter in law, and a rather naive, poorly educated girl who confuses "Have you seen the Vermers?" (paintings by Vermere) with some live people. Proust notices the spittle spraying out with the dowerger's enthusiastic conversation, and polite comments that are really attacks on one another's views. Proust is a master of interaction between people, a group of people venting their opinions and looking each other over! TIMELESS. Fashions may be different today. We still interact with fears and prejudice pretty much the same. Some of Proust's philosophy is pretty dark. A religious person might be shocked because he is so down to earth. I am bouyed up by his poetry, his vivid insights, his reality. Unfortunatly I can't live long enough to read enough, and read again.
Format:Taschenbuch
Pretentious, boring, obscure, obscene (though definitely NOT erotic - no matter what your sexual orientation is), and self-glorifying, (or self-delusional). And extrememly poor insight into the motives of other people. Other than that it is a pretty good book.
His endless recounting of the incredible (to me anyway) attentions and flattery lavished on him by the "upper crust" leave me feeling the descriptions are not true - the only question being if he was deluded or if he was lying.
His explanations of the motivations of others aren't consistent with the facts and events actually described. And the motivations that he ascribes to people are amazingly uncharitable and "catty". As I read it I just had to keep going to myself "miaou! ".
On the plus side the landscape descriptions are terrific.
Unfortunately his word choices frequently seem unnecessarily obscure (is the use of 'syncope' instead of 'faint' really necessary ? ).
The lack of notes by the editors frequently leave one baffled by references to minor french historical figures and events. I fault his editor for this rather than Proust since the events and persons he refers to were probably well known to an educated person in the time period the novels were written.

Is Proust better in the original French? Perhaps. My lack of language skills prevents me from embarking on an experiment.
At any rate, it may not matter. Lesen Sie weiter...
