Un amore di Swann

¿Cuál es el verdadero objeto de nuestro amor, nos enamoramos de la persona, de la imagen que proyectamos sobre ella, del amor mismo? ¿Hasta qué punto un pasado amor, su imagen, sus gestos, influyen en nuestras inclinaciones y apetitos futuros? ¿Es posible que otras vivencias estéticas o emocionales Leggi tutto

Whilst there is so much that I love about this novella, it is Swann’s growing awareness of the power and beauty of music that particularly enchanted me. And as his love for this music grows, so does his love and obsession for Odette. Music is interwoven throughout their tale. At first it is a tentati Leggi tutto

Pesnik Marko Tomaš u poemi "Pismo Venjički" reče da ne veruje u ljubav jer je "ona crna, strašna, velika, konačna kao smrt." Tim stihovima bih ukratko opisao ovaj roman. Ljubav je mit, iluzija.

5/5🌟! Pišite ako imate drukčije utiske, ali čitanje Prusta je zaista kao posmatranje filigranski savršeno odrađenih detalja na nekoj skulpturi koja nas, nečim tajanstvenim i neprozirnim, izaziva i pobuđuje u nama obnovu ne samo estetskog, već i čula vremena. Zapravo, i jedno i drugo, u čudesnoj subli Leggi tutto

Sinceramente, che gli vuoi dire a Proust? Ok, a volte la prende un po' alla larga. E Swann e Odette sono così indolenti che ogni tanto due testate gliele daresti per risvegliarli. Pero, dai, livelli altissimi. Non ero molto convinto. E invece. [82/100] “E come, accingendosi a baciare Odette per la prima Leggi tutto

I know Proust is supposed to be amazing - maybe reading in the original french was just too much because it's discouragingly dense - the text just goes on and on with extremely rare paragraph markings.
