Sodoma e Gomorra

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

Overview

Ultimo volume della Recherche pubblicato da Proust in vita, tra maggio 1921 e aprile 1922, Sodoma e Gomorra è il libro più costruito e al tempo stesso libero, arioso e inventivo dell'opera, "il più ricco in fatti psicologici e romanzeschi" secondo lo stesso autore. A primeggiare è la figura di Charlus, una delle più grandi creazioni dell'universo proustiano, insieme al personaggio di Albertine, entrambi protagonisti di episodi erotici a sfondo omosessuale. Ma Sodoma contiene anche uno dei momenti più alti, vibranti e commoventi della Recherche: la scoperta, da parte del Narratore, delle celebri "intermittenze del cuore".

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.
