Download or read book Monsieur Proust s Library written by Anka Muhlstein and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2012-11-06 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading was so important to Marcel Proust that it sometimes seems he was unable to create a personage without a book in hand. Everybody in his work reads: servants and masters, children and parents, artists and physicians. The more sophisticated characters find it natural to speak in quotations. Proust made literary taste a means of defining personalities and gave literature an actual role to play in his novels. In this wonderfully entertaining book, scholar and biographer Anka Muhlstein, the author of Balzac’s Omelette, draws out these themes in Proust's work and life, thus providing not only a friendly introduction to the momentous In Search of Lost Time, but also exciting highlights of some of the finest work in French literature.

Download or read book The Life of Jesus written by François Mauriac and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Life of Jesus is Nobel Prize-winning author François Mauriac's character study of Jesus Christ. As a novelist, Mauriac is aptly suited to accomplish his mission: to show the meaning of Christ for an ordinary Christian, strongly bound up with the things of the world. In his other writings, Mauriac depicted the sadness and suffering of ordinary human existence; here, he shows the light that illuminates the darkness--the light that is the Christ, the Son of God. Pairing the solid foundation of Scripture with his distinctive visceral style, Mauriac leads the reader through Christ's early years, his public ministry and miracles, and his passion, death, and resurrection. The episodic structure of the book makes it a powerful aid for meditation, especially during Holy Week."--from back cover.
