Synopsis "Mod lib in Search of Lost Time 4: Sodom and Gomorrah v. 4 (Modern Library)"

Sodom and Gomorrah opens a new phase of In Search of Lost Time. While watching the pollination of the Duchess de Guer-mantes's orchid, the narrator secretly observes a sexual encounter between two men. "Flower and plant have no conscious will," Samuel Beckett wrote of Proust's representation of sexuality. "They are shameless, exposing their genitals. And so in a sense are Proust's men and women . . . shameless. There is no question of right and wrong." For this authoritative English-language edition, D. J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin's acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieff's translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of Á la recherché du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).
Marcel Proust
  (Author)
View Author's Page
(1871-1922) Novelista, ensayista y crítico francés. Es uno de los escritores cruciales de la literatura moderna. Nació en París en el seno de una familia adinerada y abandonó pronto sus estudios de Derecho para relacionarse con la sociedad elegante de París y dedicarse a escribir. Proust, aquejado de asma desde la infancia y convertido en un enfermo crónico, pasó el resto de su vida recluido, sin salir prácticamente nunca de la habitación revestida de corcho donde escribió su obra maestra: En busca del tiempo perdido, la que está reconocida sin discusión como una de las más importantes de la literatura moderna, influenciando tanto en el campo de la literatura como en el de la filosofía y la teoría del arte. Falleció de neumonía en París un 18 de noviembre de 1922.
