Proust Among the Stars

Malcolm Bowie

4.9/5 (16283 ratings)

Description:For many, Proust is the supreme European writer of the twentieth century. This book tackles his achievement head-on. Art, death, sex, politics, loss, guilt, morality--Proust's major themes are revealed and explained here."Proust Among the Stars" is a matchless close reading of "Remembrance of Things Past" and a lesson in how to read the great books profitably and pleasurably. Malcolm Bowie asserts that Proust's novel is one of the great exercises in speculative imagining in the world's literature; and that its originality lies first in the quality of Proust's textual invention, page after page, line after line. Proust's world constantly shimmers with a sense of multiple possibilities and is at the same time infused with the urge to order, obsessively to organize. Bowie examines how Proust achieves this in his writing, as opposed to his themes, plots, or theories.An original, beautiful, and deeply moving book, "Proust Among the Stars" shows how Proust's work deepens our understanding of our lives and ourselves.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
