Summary:
Marcel Proust(1871-1922) was born in Paris during a time of great social and political upheaval, a ferment that is dealt with extensively in his monumental workIn Search of Lost Time. He was a sickly child and spent the earlier part of his short life pursuing a variety of sometimes frivolous activities, which led to his not being taken seriously as a writer. It was not until 1909, when he was 38 years old, that he began work on the groundbreaking novel for which he is known, a task that consumed the rest of his life.
InSimply Proust, ProfessorJack Louis Jordanpresents an incisive, yet thoroughly accessible, introduction to Prousts landmark work, helping the reader to fully appreciate the scope of the authors achievement, as well as the fascinating process that underlay its creation. Emphasizing the fundamental role of psychology and the unconscious, Jordan shows how Prousts methodology and our understanding of his novel are connected, and how this makes for a unique and endlessly revealing literary experience.
At once philosophical, psychological, and deeply human,Simply Proustoffers an invaluable entry point into a masterpiece of world literature and takes the measure of the flawed and brilliant man who transformed the material of his life into a transcendent work of art.
