AUTHOR

Proust, Marcel, Treharne, Mark

SUMMARY

Marcel Proust was born in Auteuil in 1871. 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. He died in 1922. Mark Treharne taught French at the University of Warwick and has since worked as a translatorProust, Marcel is the author of 'Guermantes Way Cities of the Plain', published 2004 under ISBN 9780670033171 and ISBN 0670033170.
