This book is aimed at those who are encountering the work In Search of Lost Time for the first time, as well as those who already know it. It features seven keynote lectures through which Bernard de Fallois summarizes, explains and condenses Proust’s main themes in a straightforward and acute way. How did he compose his work? What is a Proustian character? How does he express humour, love, metaphysical reflection, and art? Can a work of art conquer death?
With perfect fluency, a simplicity that disarms you, a lucidity resulting from thought that is audacious yet humble, deep and organized, inherited from the classics, Fallois brilliantly achieves his goal: to convince and satisfy the most demanding readers of Proust, and to guide the reading of those who feel overwhelmed by such a literary masterpiece.
Speakers include:
Lluís Maria Todó. Translator of the book.
Glòria Farrés. Curator of the exhibition From Proust to Marsans, In Search of Lost Time.
Àlex Susanna. Curator of the exhibition From Proust to Marsans, In Search of Lost Time.
Date: Thursday 22nd December, 6.30 p.m.
Jointly organized with Ediciones del Subsuelo.
