Bøker av Marcel Proust

"The bonds that unite us to another human being are sanctified when he or she adopts the same point of view as ourselves in judging one of our imperfections." ¿ Marcel Proust, Within a Budding Grove Within a Budding Grove (1919) by Marcel Proust recounts the experiences of the narrator as he is growing up. Written in two parts, the novel takes the readers to Paris in the First Part. The narrator struggles in his relationship with Gilberte Swann and her mother Mme Swann. The Second Part shifts

L'incipit d'Albertine disparue, contient en germe le noeud du drame : à l'annonce de Françoise, la domestique du narrateur, « « Mademoiselle Albertine est partie ! » répond ce constat du Narrateur « Comme la souffrance va plus loin en psychologie que la psychologie ! ». En effet, Albertine disparue constitue une analyse de la souffrance amoureuse, qu'atténue lentement - « dans le temps » - le travail du deuil et de l'oubli.Dans le chapitre I, le narrateur essaie pourtant de faire revenir Albertine chez lui par tous les moyens après le départ de celle-ci (il feint l'indifférence, envoie son influent ami Saint-Loup, promet à Albertine l'achat d'un yacht et d'une Rolls-Royce, etc). Mais tous ses efforts sont vains ; Albertine en effet meurt dans un accident de cheval (cet épisode n'est pas sans rappeler, toutes proportions gardées et sans tomber dans le biographisme que récuse Proust, la mort d'Alfred Agostinelli, secrétaire et amant de Proust, lui aussi prisonnier, fugitif, puis disparu dans un accident d'avion). Le narrateur apprend par la suite qu'Albertine s'était décidée à revenir vivre auprès de lui. L'oubli fait alors progressivement son oeuvre dans la vie du narrateur, atténuant sa souffrance.Au début du chapitre II, le narrateur revoit, sans la reconnaître de prime abord, Gilberte Swann, son ancien amour de Combray, devenue Mlle de Forcheville par adoption. Cette rencontre prend d'autant plus de force que le narrateur n'hésite pas à comparer son oubli progressif et définitif de Gilberte (quand il était plus jeune) à celui qui le menace quant à Albertine. De fait, à la fin du chapitre II, son amour pour Albertine n'est plus ; il peut désormais partir pour Venise, puisque seule la présence (réelle ou virtuelle) d'Albertine l'en empêchait.Le récit se poursuit donc à travers l'évocation d'un voyage à Venise. Ce séjour représente pour le narrateur comme un dernier adieu à la jeunesse et aussi, d'une certaine façon, à sa mère, à travers l'épisode qui clôt le chapitre III : le narrateur, intéressé par la baronne Putbus, refuse de partir avec sa mère, mais finit par la rejoindre in extremis à la gare. C'est aussi une magnifique évocation poétique de la Cité des Doges (lire par exemple la description des fresques de Saint-Marc longuement contemplées par le narrateur, et qui lui rappellent une robe portée par Albertine).

From literal French, In Search of Lost Time, first translated into English as Remembrance of Things Past, and sometimes referred to in French as La Recherche (The Search), is a novel in seven volumes by French author Marcel Proust. This early 20th-century work is his most prominent, known both for its length and its theme of involuntary memory. The most famous example is the "episode of the madeleine," which occurs early in the first volume. The novel gained fame in English in translations by C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin as Remembrance of Things Past.In Search of Lost Time follows the narrator's recollections of childhood and experiences into adulthood in the late 19th-century and early 20th-century high-society France while reflecting on the loss of time and lack of meaning in the world. The novel began to take shape in 1909. Proust continued to work on it until his final illness in 1922 forced him to break off. Proust established the structure early on, but even after volumes were initially finished, he continued to add new material and edited one volume after another for publication. The last three of the seven volumes contain oversights and fragmentary or unpolished passages, as they existed only in draft form at the author's death; the publication of these parts was overseen by his brother Robert.

Proust's masterpiece is one of the seminal works of the twentieth century, recording its narrator's experiences as he grows up, falls in love and lives through the First World War.

Scott Moncrieff's famous translation from the 1920s is today regarded as a classic in its own right and is now available in three volumes in Penguin Classics.'Scott Moncrieff's [volumes] belong to that special category of translations which are themselves literary masterpieces ... his book is one of those translations, such as the Authorized Version of the Bible itself, which can never be displaced' - A.

Swann's Way written by Marcel Proust, tells two related stories, the first of which revolves around Marcel, a younger version of the narrator, and his experiences in, and memories of, the French town Combray. Inspired by the "gusts of memory" that rise up within him as he dips a Madeleine into hot tea, the narrator discusses his fear of going to bed at night. He is a creature of habit and dislikes waking up in the middle of the night not knowing where he is. He claims that people are defined by the objects that surround them and must piece together their identities bit by bit each time they wake up.

I Norge var det den prisbelønte oversetteren Anne-Lisa Amadou som startet å oversette på 60-tallet, og fullførte på 90-tallet. Med På sporet av den tapte tid var.Proust med på å endre romankunsten på avgjørende vis. Den tradisjonelle psykologiske roman ble avløst av en mer innoverskuende og springende fortellerform. Romanserien er langt på vei også en selvbiografi, en skildring av en kunstners søken tilbake til barndom og oppvekst. Og et hovedspørsmål er hvordan øyeblikkets erindring gjør det mulig å gjenopprette spor av fortid. For Proust er det tapte paradis det eneste sanne, den indre verden det eneste virkelige. Veien til Swann.rommer delene «Combray», «Swanns kjærlighet» og «Navnet». . Marcel Proust (1871?1922) er en av de store mesterne i litteraturhistorien. På sporet av den tapte tid har inspirert utallige forfattere og litteraturteoretikere. Proust var jurist, men praktiserte yrket bare i en kort periode. Han nøt livet i Paris-salongene, og skrev artikler. Da han begynte å skrive på sitt store verk, lukket han seg mer og mer inne..

The Guermantes Way (1920/21) is the third volume of Marcel Proust's seven-part novel In Search of Lost Time. Written while Proust was virtually confined to his bedroom from a lifelong respiratory illness, The Guermantes Way is a story of memory, history, family, and romance from a master of Modernist literature. Praised by Virginia Woolf, Vladimir Nabokov, Michael Chabon, and Graham Greene, In Search of Lost Time explores the nature of memory and time while illuminating the history of homosexuality in nineteenth century Europe. The narrator moves to an apartment neighboring the home of the aristocratic Guermantes family. He soon grows obsessed with the beautiful Mme. de Guermantes, who refuses his invitation to meet. Disappointed, he rekindles his friendship with her nephew Saint-Loup, a soldier who introduces him to the salon of Mme. de Villeparisis. There, he observes Mme. de Guermantes up close, but soon loses interest as he attempts to pursue Mme. de Stermaria. Only then, as his attention wavers, does he receive an invite to the Guermantes home. As he grows and learns, he begins to recognize the reality concealed by convention: the secret liaisons between lovers; the petty competitions of artists; the fleeting nature of affection and lust alike. Written in flowing prose, The Guermantes Way is a masterpiece of twentieth century fiction that continues to entertain and astound over a century after it appeared in print.
