Informationen zum Autor Proust was born in Auteuil, France in 1871. He began writing his masterpiece, À la recherche du temps perdu , in 1909, and worked on it until his death in 1922, following several years of poor health during which he had been confined to his bedroom. Klappentext In these inspiring essays about why we read, Proust explores all the pleasures and trials that we take from books, as well as explaining the beauty of Ruskin and his work, and the joys of losing yourself in literature as a child. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are. Zusammenfassung Features essays about why we read. This work explores the pleasures and trials that we take from books, as well as explaining the beauty of Ruskin and his work, and the joys of losing yourself in literature as a child.
