Marcel Proust

The Sweet Cheat Gone Marcel Proust

In Albertine disappeared, sixth and penultimate volume of In Search of Lost Time, Proust continues his detailed and obsessive narration of the amorous delusions of the anguish of desire and especially of jealousy, the feeling that most strongly encourages in these pages starring Albertine one of the most enduring lovers of world literature. On this occasion Proust continues his peculiar tour de force around the figure of the lover absent from the pain of the lost body. Without a doubt we are facing one of the deepest and most elaborate reflections on love, desire and the passage of time. Carlos Manzano, about to complete his titanic Proustian work, confirms once again that this is the best Spanish version of one of the great works of all time.
