Product Description
Product Description
Drawing on the intense emotional experiences of his youth, Proust tells the story of boyhood summers of strawberries and cream cheese, of garlands of pink blossom under branches of white may, of love and its lies, of political scandal and of his deep feeling for his parents.

Proust fans will be delighted with "Jean Santeuil"..
8 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover
It's hard to imagine anyone who has not already read "Rememberance" enjoying this book because it is very much a first draft version, in outlook and in execution. However, if you read and enjoyed "Rememberance" there is every chance you will be delighted with "Jean Santeuil". There are countless delicious turns of phrase and insights which do not appear in the deservedly famous masterwork. Certainly, there are 'monotonous' descriptions to contend with, but if you enjoy the idea of observing a major author honing his skills, you will probably read even these with delight. This early Proust certainly increased my appreciation and understanding of the later work. Highly recommended for those who read all the way to the end of "Rememberance".
