Chateaubriand was a high noble, was present at the French Revolution, left Europe in despair, to travel the back countries of America. It was a solo journey of 3,500 miles which eventually gave rise to the books which first made him a legend. He returned to fight for his king (on the losing side), escaped, dangerously ill, to England. All this by age 24. Very well-written, nice copy, 327 pp.

George D. Painter's inimitable achievement as Proust's biography is to show, w/ passionate & scholarly care & consummate clarity of style, how intimately the two stories are related: the real story of Proust's life & the symbolic story that he revealed in his great work of art. In his elegant, entertaining prose, Painter takes us from Proust's childhood, w/ his ardent devotion to his mother & its inevitable disappointments, through his boyhood friendships, romantic obsessions & intellectual revelations, to his entrance into high society. We see through both Proust's & a historian's eyes the idiosyncratic, often petty, sometimes poetic lives of the French elite, & we experience w/ Proust the trauma of his mother's death, combined w/ his disillusionment w/ the social circuit & his subsequent retreat from society into long periods of illness & isolation, during which he slept by day and by night created a masterpiece. Originally published in 2-volumes, "Marcel Proust: A Biography" has here been reissued in a single revised & enlarged edition, w/ a new preface & a select, annotated bibliography, which together take account of the textual discoveries, letters, & other biographical source materials that have come to light in recent years. Updated & expanded, it remains the definitive biography of Proust & the indispensable companion to his writing. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "One of the great English biographies of any time." -Philip Toynbee. "A biography that is equal to its subject. Let there be no doubt about the importance of this book; it is a major biography in English, distinguished by thorough scholarship, honesty in acknowledging the frailty of genius, & a cogent style." -NYRB. "I have seldom read a biography that provided quite so convincing an account of how a masterpiece evolves from limbo . a vivid portrait of the novelist's character." -NYTBR "Marcel Proust" is creative biography of the first order . It is not likely to be superseded, which is the true & immodest meaning of . 'definitive'." -Newsweek * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: GEORGE D. PAINTER was born in Birmingham, England in 1914. After graduating from Cambridge w/ a first class honors degree in classics, he lectured at the University of Liverpool & then joined the staff of the British Museum, where her worked form 1938-1974, specializing in 15th-century painting. In addition to "Marcel Proust", he authored biographies of Andre Gide, William Caxton & Chateaubriand. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & to international destinations via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL at our posted rates.
