Un Baiser avant l'Agonie

by Marcel Proust

Overview

Marcel Proust est l'un des plus grands auteurs de la littérature française. On dit qu'il est mort épuisé par le travail. Il écrivait beaucoup. Une persévérance qui lui a permis de surmonter les embûches faites de critiques désagréables, de refus de son oeuvre par les éditeurs. Ce livre rassemble deux récits haletants qu'il a choisis de publier comme des articles littéraires. Nous avons choisi de l'éditer sous le titre Un Baiser avant l'Agonie, un titre qui traduit bien la vie et le parcours littéraire de cet auteur qui, rappelons-le, n'a eu que peu de temps pour profiter de la reconnaissance et du succès, comme un doux baiser avant l'agonie.

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.
