# Marcel Proust (1871-1922)

Biography of Proust shows him at different stages of life: child, student, and the reflective, withdrawn youth, barred by illness and frailty from the active life. Discusses the themes that animate his art: the permanence of memory, the interplay of time and experience, the artist's role in creating a world that becomes understandable to those, who, unaided see only chaos
