Letters to the Lady Upstairs

A charming, funny, poignant collection of twenty-three letters from Marcel Proust to his upstairs neighbour

About the author

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was one of the handful of indisputably great writers of this century. Troubled by ill-health throughout his life, he largely withdrew from society in 1907, to work on his incomparable 16-volume novel ‘In Search of Lost Time’. He lived long enough to see the publication of its first volumes, and to experience its universal reception as a work of genius.
