Im Schatten junger Mädchenblüte

by Marcel Proust

Overview

Aus: Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit Im Schatten junger Mädchenblüte ist der bekannteste und zum geflügelten Wort gewordene Abschnitt der gigantischen Romanserie Prousts, der für sich gelesen werden kann. Großenteils spielt er im fiktiven Badeort Balbec. Durch seine unglaublich scharfe Beobachtungsgabe und Psychologie wurde Proust zum Mitbegründer des modernen Romans, ohne den z. B. Thomas Mann nicht geworden wäre, was er war. Übersetzt von Walter Benjamin und Franz Hessel.

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.
