Albertine scomparsa

by Marcel Proust, Luciano De Maria (Revised by), Giovanni Raboni (Translator)

Overview

Giudicato da Proust stesso "ciò che ho scritto di meglio", Albertine scomparsa (1925) chiude il dittico della ragazza di Balbec narrando il lutto del Narratore per la sua morte e il lento trascolorare della sofferenza nell'oblio, sullo sfondo di una Venezia insieme immaginata, rievocata e reale. Ispirato a un episodio autobiografico e permeato più di tutti di un potente erotismo, il penultimo libro della Recherche permette all'autore di approfondire il registro tragico dell'opera, indagando in profondità il dolore del mondo e dando il via a un percorso di autoanalisi che ha pochi pari nella storia della letteratura.

About the Author

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was born in Auteuil, France. In his twenties, following a year in the army, he became a conspicuous society figure, frequenting the most fashionable Paris salons of the day. After 1899, however, his chronic asthma, the death of his parents, and his growing disillusionment with humanity caused him to lead an increasingly retired life. From 1907 on, he rarely emerged from a cork-lined room in his apartment on boulevard Haussmann. There he insulated himself against the distractions of city life and the effects of trees and flowers—though he loved them, they brought on his attacks of asthma. He slept by day and worked by night, writing letters and devoting himself to the completion of In Search of Lost Time.
