La muerte de las catedrales (Edición integra)

by Marcel Proust

Overview

Apagaba, me volvía a dormir. Algunas veces, como Eva nació de una costilla de Adán, una mujer nacía de una mala postura de mi pierna; surgida del placer que yo estaba a punto de disfrutar, me figuraba que era ella la que me lo ofrecía. Mi cuerpo que sentía en ella su propio calor quería unirse a ella, y yo me despertaba. Los demás mortales se me antojaban como algo muy remoto comparados con aquella mujer a la que acababa de dejar, aún tenía la mejilla caliente por sus besos, el cuerpo derrengado por el peso de su cuerpo. Poco a poco se desvanecía el recuerdo, y había olvidado la muchacha de mi sueño con la misma celeridad que si hubiese sido una verdadera amante.

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.
