Marcel Proust Boeken

In Sodom en Gomorra, Boek IV van Proust's romancyclus Op zoek naar de verloren tijd, wordt de passie van baron de Charlus ontleed. Zijn homofilie (Sodom) dwingt hem ertoe zijn aristocratische milieu te verlaten, terwijl men in het burgerlijke milieu waar hij terechtkomt de aristocratie benijdt. Ook de liefde van de verteller voor Albertine wordt ontleed. Marcel lijdt onder de vlinderachtige trouweloosheid van Albertine en hij vreest dat hij alleen op haar verliefd is uit angst haar te verliezen. Bovendien verdenkt hij Albertine van een lesbische verhouding. Gomorra, in Proustiaanse zin.

Para muchos historiadores y criticos, EN BUSCA DEL TIEMPO PERDIDO no solo es una obra cumbre de las letras francesas del siglo XX, sino tambien una de las mas grandes creaciones literarias de todas las epoca, en la que la trasposicion en el relato de la vida de Marcel Proust (1871-1922), asi como de personajes y ambientes sociales de su tiempo, se pone al servicio de un proposito radicalmente innovador del genero novelistico. LA PRISIONERA es el quinto volumen de la serie que completan, por este orden, Por el camino de Swann, A la sombre de las muchachas en flor y El mundo de Guermantes, Sodoma y Gomorra, La fugitiva y El tiempo recobrado.

THE ACCLAIMED FULLY REVISED EDITION OF THE SCOTT MONCRIEFF AND KILMARTIN TRANSLATIONTime Regained begins in the bleak and uncertain years of World War I. Years later, after the war's end, Proust's narrator returns to Paris and reflects on time, reality, jealousy, artistic creation, and the raw material of literature - his past life.

First published in 1919, Within a Budding Grove was awarded the Prix Goncourt, bringing the author immediate fame. In this second volume of In Search of Lost Time, the narrator turns from the childhood reminiscences of Swann’s Way to memories of his adolescence. Having gradually become indifferent to Swann’s daughter Gilberte, the narrator visits the seaside resort of Balbec with his grandmother and meets a new object of attention—Albertine, “a girl with brilliant, laughing eyes and plump, matt cheeks.”For this authoritative English-language edition, D. J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin’s acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieff’s translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of Á la recherché du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).

The Modern Library’s fifth volume of In Search of Lost Time contains both The Captive (1923) and The Fugitive (1925). In The Captive, Proust’s narrator describes living in his mother’s Paris apartment with his lover, Albertine, and subsequently falling out of love with her. In The Fugitive, the narrator loses Albertine forever. Rich with irony, The Captive and The Fugitive inspire meditations on desire, sexual love, music, and the art of introspection.
