Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. tl:dr ( ) I thoroughly enjoyed all 1169 pages of Volume 2 of this trilogy! This volume includes books 3 & 4 of seven, "Guermantes Way" and "Sodom and Gomorrah". Nobody writes like Proust. His exquisite, excruciating attention to the details and minutiae of the behavior of the aristocracy in France is nothing short of remarkable. His prose in this volume is exceedingly witty and sarcastic. Our protagonist, Marcel, is a young man now, finding his way in high society and observing its dynamics, idiosyncrasies, and hypocrisies. Additionally, Marcel, is trying to understand lust v. love, and the manipulative subtleties of courtship. In the course of this series of life lessons Proust writes at great length about homosexuality amongst the socially elite, expressing difficulty comprehending it and acceptance of its existence. The third major theme is the passage of time, as Marcel lose a beloved relative and watches other important characters age physically, mentally, and socially. It takes commitment to read this series, and in my opinion it is well worth the effort. Made it through this one twice. Each time I tried to read the entire trilogy but once I took my eyes off it for even a short time I could not go back without starting over and the second time through I was so impatient with the stupidities of the people that I could not enjoy the writing which was marvelous. So even though the third volume is on my TBR list, I doubt very much I will attempt it. It will sit there as the only book I attempted and never managed to complete. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
