Marcel Proust fue, desde la más tierna juventud hasta su muerte en 1922, un corresponsal meticuloso y prolífico: escribió a allegados, familia, amigos, defensores de su obra e incluso a sus mayores detractores. En las miles de cartas que envió, en las que el registro y el estilo se adaptan magistralmente al receptor, trata temas de lo más variados, recuerdos y confesiones íntimas, impresiones sobre lecturas, negociaciones con sus editores, comentarios sobre la actualidad política, que esbozan, de forma sutil, muchos de los episodios y motivos de los que se nutriría su obra magna, En busca del tiempo perdido. Esta selección reúne cerca de doscientas cartas escritas por Proust desde la adolescencia hasta sus últimos días, y ofrece así un vívido retrato del escritor, su mundo y su tiempo. El lector tiene entre manos una fascinante guía de lectura para una obra cumbre de la literatura europea en la que el escritor, al decir de un admirado Beckett, «se descubre a sí mismo como artista en el Tiempo creador y destructivo», como privilegiado testigo del crepúsculo de una época y brillante precursor de otra nueva.
Marcel Proust was, from his earliest youth until his death in 1922, a meticulous and prolific correspondent: he wrote to relatives, family, friends, defenders of his work and even his biggest detractors. In the thousands of letters he sent, in which the register and style are masterfully adapted to the recipient, he deals with the most varied topics, memories and intimate confessions, impressions about readings, negotiations with his publishers, comments on current politics, which subtly outline many of the episodes and reasons that would feed his magnum opus, In Search of Lost Time. This selection brings together close to two hundred letters written by Proust from adolescence to his last days, thus offering a vivid portrait of the writer, his world and his time.
