Read Proust is not easy ... but it is a great pleasure .. Certainly, we must stay focused .. not to get lost in the maze of his long interminable sentences devoid of punctuation. You need absolutely love of words, vocabulary obsolete nowadays .. Proust is one of the few authors use half a page, view a whole page for you to feel what he feels himself même..Sur such banal sensations that smell of wax or polish that we perceive when you climb a wooden staircase ... Or the taste of a cup of tea decorated with a "plump madeleine." Appealing to all conceivable metaphors for these sensations become as noticeable it .. In Search of Lost Time is the story of a lifetime ... a kind of 'Dallas' 20s .. The side Chez Swann lingers on part of the childhood of the author in the family country house at Combray ... and in its second part this novel describes a love ... the love of Swann Odette ... a one-way love. Nothing is left to chance ... nothing is oublié..la slightest feeling ... any regard..la any emotion or gesture. Everything and absolutely everything is narrated finely, so that the reader can not miss anything ... And to do so, the genius of Proust and vocabulary are here all their greatness and their pedigree ... Apart from the great literary and style of the author, but also its high sensitivity facing wonder; sensitivity communicate with a certain panache to the reader .. The work is also very informative about the customs of the era of the big bourgeoisie, the differences between social castes and statuses, very present throughout the pages .. Anyway ... What else ... if not to make a clean sweep of all the prejudices we may have had to read Proust..et undeterred there ... and gradually becoming accustomed to the atypical style the author .. Happy reading ... and good search of lost time ... one of our childhood ...
