Pleasures and Days

Zusatztext Pleasure and Days yields the earliest blooms from [Proust's] emerging, lifelong fascination with the labyrinths of snobbery and sexuality in Parisian high society. Informationen zum Autor Leighton Hodson was Senior Resarch Fellow at the University of Glasgow and is author of "Proust: the critical heritage" (1989) and "Proust's A l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs: a critical guide" (1994). Klappentext Proust's only other work of fiction published in his lifetime apart from the monumental novel cycle 'In Search of Lost Time, Pleasures and Days' takes the reader on a journey through the high-society circles of fin-de-siecle Paris, presenting the lives, loves and attitudes of a host of unforgettable characters. Zusammenfassung Rich in language and detail, and by turns satirical and moving, Proust's stories - presented here in Andrew Brown's nuanced translation, the only edition currently in print - are layered with imagery and feeling and foreshadow the themes and psychological atmosphere of his later masterpiece.
