Proust and Topolski:a collaboration of two consummate artists.In this highly attractive book,the writer and the illustrator join hands across more than sixty years to captivate the reader.Witty, exuberant, original and often provocative, Feliks Topolski's 4 four-page,fold-out coloured drawings brilliantly evoke Proust's world of elite Parisian society. The text in turn is fascinating in its own right.
From some 4,000 pages of Proust's autobiographical novel,"A la Recherche du Temps Perdu",Odette and Ronald Cortie have skilfully selected and translated an absorbing anthology of Proust's reflections on life,love and literature. This enchanting book will not only delight the dedicated Proustian,but serve as an introduction to many who have been daunted by the masterpiece itself.
