Title: Une jeunesse de Marcel Proust
Description: Who has not heard of Proust's questionnaire? The writer's answers have traveled through time and around the world. We forgot that they came from an album entitled Confessions, belonging to Antoinette Faure, the daughter of the future President of the Republic. In participating in this fashionable board game, Marcel Proust did not suspect that he would give clues about the teenager he was. His answers have been commented. But never contextualized or compared. Never dated accurately. From Gilberte to the Champs-Élysées to the little band of Albertine and the young girls in flower, what trace have they left in his work? --Translated from back cover.
