Synopsis "Sodom and Gomorrah: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 4"

The fourth volume of one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century John Sturrock's acclaimed new translation of Sodom and Gomorrah will introduce a new generation of American readers to the literary riches of Proust. The fourth volume in this superb edition of In Search of Lost Time--the first completely new translation of Proust's masterpiece since the 1920s--brings us a more comic and lucid prose than English readers have previously been able to enjoy. Sodom and Gomorrah takes up the theme of homosexual love, male and female, and dwells on how destructive sexual jealousy can be for those who suffer it. Proust's novel is also an unforgiving analysis of both the decadent high society of Paris and the rise of a philistine bourgeoisie that is on the way to supplanting it. Characters who had lesser roles in earlier volumes now reappear in a different light and take center stage, notably Albertine, with whom the narrator believes he is in love, and the insanely haughty Baron de Charlus.

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.
