Summary
Marcel Proust: Road to Swann | Combray
The entire first phase of the cycle "In Search of Lost Time" was written retrospectively, in memory of that distant and distant time, when Impressionism celebrated its last triumphs, when Millerandism appeared on the French political horizon in the midst of cabinet crises, after Gambetta's death, when Zola fought against the entire French public opinion, during the great birth crises of the Third and today's French bourgeois republic.
Miroslav Krleža
... Proust seeks the seriousness of life through the creation of art. Most people give up searching because they have knocked on many doors in vain. Walter Biemel
My great adventure is actually Proust. Because what else can be written after him?... One has to put the book down and catch one's breath. Virginia Woolf
