Description
Proust and Venice explores the famous novel A la recherche du temps perdu, focusing on its central obsession with Venice. The study examines how Proust's artistic sources and reworkings shed light on the novel's complex prose style and aesthetic theory.
The author, Peter Collier, demonstrates how an understanding of Proust's artistic influences can provide a new key to the novel's central themes of memory and desire. By tracing the allusions to art, from Titian to Turner, Collier reveals the intricate connections between Proust's work and the world of art.
This book offers a fresh perspective on Proust's masterpiece, revealing the ways in which Venice and Italian art inform the novel's exploration of human experience.
