Gian Balsamo

Proust and His Banker

In Search of Time Squandered

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What Marcel Proust wanted from life most of all was unconditional requited love, and the way he went after it cost him a fortune. To pay for such extravagance, he engaged in daring speculations on the stock exchange. In Proust and His Banker, Gian Balsamo reveals that Proust was quite aware of the advantageous trade-off between financial indulgence and artistic inspiration.
