Title : Memories of Marcel Proust - Robert Dreyfus - Book

Summary :

Published in 1926, these Memories of Marcel Proust bring together letters from Marcel Proust to Robert Dreyfus. The correspondence begins when the former was 17, in 1888, and ends in 1920, two years before his death. We follow the writer at each stage of his life: from the Lycée Condorcet to the years of writing In Search of Lost Time , including his first social events. Proust talks about friendship, salons, but also literature. He mentions Gobineau and Ruskin. Robert Dreyfus frames these letters with autobiographical notes, portraits, and critical comparisons between the life and work of his friend.
The new presentation of the book also reveals some mysteries. Dreyfus censored some of Proust's expressions, replacing them with words he deemed more appropriate. Marcel Proust's "affectionately" becomes "yours truly," for example. Propriety, when you hold us...
A stroll through the private life of one of the greatest French novelists of the 20th century.
