Sinossi
For many years, Roger Shattuck has been mesmerised by one writer. Now, after a lifetime of musing on Proust he has written this new and definitive work. PROUST'S WAY is a beautifully written, ingenious and entertaining guide, offering both an introduction to Proust and a reinterpretation of his work. Shattuck examines Proust's place in the path of aesthetic decadence blazed by Baudelaire and Wilde and presents him as a novelist whose philosophical gifts were matched by his irrepressible comic sense. He also makes a compelling case for getting away from stereotypical images of the novelist as being totally detached from reality, in his words 'Forget the cork-lined room and the invalid's bed, Proust lived in this world'.

Proust's Way. A Field Guide to "In Search of Lost Time"
Da: Barksdale Books, Almere, Paesi Bassi
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Condizione: Good. For any reader who has been humbled by the language, the density, or the sheer weight of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, Roger Shattuck is a godsend. Winner of the National Book Award for Marcel Proust, a sweeping examination of Proust's life and works, Shattuck now offers a useful and eminently readable guidebook to Proust's epic masterpiece, and a contemplation of memory and consciousness throughout great literature. Here, Shattuck laments Proust's defenselessness against zealous editors, praises some translations, and presents Proust as a novelist whose philosophical gifts were matched only by his irrepressible comic sense. Proust's Way, the culmination of a lifetime of scholarship, will serve as the next generation's guide to one of the world's finest writers of fiction. Codice articolo 942530
