Description

In Search of Lost Time is considered a seminal work of the 20th century. Complex and full of unexpected ramifications, its peculiar textuality — so often compared in its structure to the monumentality of a cathedral — proposes a reading experience, perhaps one of the most vivid that literature can offer.

In a journey through the complete novel cycle of In Search of Lost Time, this book explores possible ways of reading Marcel Proust by revisiting in his writing the marks of his life, the themes that run through it, the originality of the procedures that his style imposed, his refined aesthetics and the way in which his most celebrated work became an unavoidable text about the phenomena of human memory.

This book is part of the Notebooks Collection , an initiative of Malba Literatura to disseminate its rich archive of courses and seminars taught by leading academics and writers. The editing of each volume in this collection has allowed the authors to revisit the topics covered and add supplementary materials, striving to maintain the warmth and spontaneity of the lectures that inspired them.

Ways of Reading Proust compiles the classes that Walter Romero taught at the Malba during 2016, 2017 and 2018.
