The Letters of Marcel Proust - Marcel Proust

It is not possible to fully encompass any unique creative experience without discovering its inner world, those secret rooms surrounded by ambiguity and secrets, with bitter and beautiful memories, with harsh and rich experiences that the self-writer created and refined. And their internal concerns, whether through writing autobiography or personal letters. And when the letters pertain to one of the most important novelists of the twentieth century, Marcel Proust, we are facing a precious book that certainly makes reading them an exciting and beneficial experience, because of the privacy, richness, and human depth they reveal. We have a picture of the other side of the famous writer, a portrait of the ordinary person, who is overwhelmed with the details of his life and its ups and downs, his struggle to write, his struggle with illness, the daily obstacles he faced, and his ingenuity in dealing with all of that in order to achieve his dreams, an amazing journey of glory and humiliation! Proust here, outside the strict criticism calculations and the standards of journalism and studies, has a humanity that fluctuates in a deep and cruel ember called: life.
