Comment Proust peut changer votre vie - Alain de Botton
- In english. First published in 1997.
Alain de Botton, in 9 chapters, goes after the life's lessons Proust could give us, in his books as well as in his correspondance. He invites us to a new lecture, audacious and erudite, of the work from the one who was more afraid of mouses than of bombs, who was always cold and who spent 14 years of his life in a narrow bed, to write "in search of lost time".
-> Fan from the early days of De Botton, I did not really enjoy his book, this time. May be the topic, the reference to a far away past... sorry.
