Overview

La segunda parte de una obra maestra sobre al amor, las relaciones humanas y el devenir del tiempo

Segundo volumen de En busca del tiempo perdido, obra cumbre de la literatura del siglo XX, A la sombra de las muchachas en flor describe el itinerario de un doble aprendizaje: erótico y artístico. El papel de iniciadora corresponde a Gilberte y la historia de la pasión que ella inspira al narrador constituye la parte central del libro. En este episodio, aparentemente inocente, de un cortejo adolescente, todo tiene un valor ejemplar: el contraste entre la espera febril de la persona amada y la desilusión que su presencia provoca, con el consiguiente aplazamiento continuo de las esperanzas y la imposibilidad de vivir la felicidad como momento actual; los golpes de efecto que revelan posibilidades ni siquiera soñadas cuando todo parecía perdido; la “gimnasia de la indiferencia”, perseguida con sorprendente lucidez por el joven narrador; la ruptura, por último, de ese círculo vicioso por obra del tiempo, que caprichosamente y mediante diversas intermitencias conduce al olvido. Pero amor y arte, lejos de excluirse, se ayudan mutuamente, pues Gilberte es quien hace de intermediaria entre el narrador y Bergotte y es en el taller de Elstir donde conoce inesperadamente a Albertine. Pero esa afortunada connivencia resultará ser una de las numerosas ilusiones y falsas pistas diseminadas en el camino seguido por el narrador de En busca del tiempo perdido y que ni siquiera pueden considerarse necesarias para preparar el descubrimiento final de la verdad, ya que en el pesimista universo proustiano, ésta resulta ser una concesión caprichosa e imprevisible, como un don gratuito, ante el cual la única actitud válida es la disponibilidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The second volume of In Search of Lost Time, one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century

James Grieve's acclaimed new translation of In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower will introduce a new century of American readers to the literary riches of Marcel Proust. As the second volume in the superb edition of In Search of Lost Time—the first completely new translation of Proust's novel since the 1920s—it brings us a more comic and lucid prose than English readers have previously been able to enjoy. In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower is Proust's spectacular dissection of male and female adolescence, charged with the narrator's memories of Paris and the Normandy seaside. At the heart of the story lie his relationships with his grandmother and with the Swann family.

As a meditation on different forms of love, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower has no equal. Here, Proust introduces some of his greatest comic inventions, from the magnificently dull Monsieur de Norpois to the enchanting Robert de Saint-Loup. It is memorable as well for the first appearance of the two figures who for better or worse are to dominate the narrator's life—the Baron de Charlus and the mysterious Albertine.
