Synopsis

In Part Two of Within a Budding Grove, young Marcel falls under the spell of an enchanting group of adolescent girls. At first intoxicated by their beauty and athletic energy, he finds it difficult choose between them. But gradually he finds himself drawn to the beautiful Albertine – though without guessing how much she is to mean to him in the future. Within a Budding Grove is the second book of Marcel Proust’s monumental, quasi-autobiographical novel Remembrance of Things Past. It was awarded the Prix Goncourt in 1919.

I think this would be impossible to recommend to anybody who is not interested in philosophy or French history or culture, or reading books simply because they are regarded as classics. The unusual writing style might be of interest to aspiring authors, or those studying literature, but that's about......more

Goodreads review by Allan on May 29, 2021

På sporet af den tabte tid forekommer tiden både at være investeringen og udbyttet. Udfordringen er at finde balancen, hvor udbyttet til stadighed overstiger investeringen, og det er ikke enkelt at gennemskue, hvor stregen mest hensigtsmæssigt skal trækkes, i dette øjeblik, det næste og det næste de......more

Goodreads review by Nene on August 20, 2022

Dette fjerde bind har (mindst) to temaer. Det ene er de sociale klassers forhold til hinanden. Der er personbeskrivelser to die for, men også betragtninger over klassers indbyrdes forhold, der sagtens kan overføres til vores tid, selvom det at være adelig måske tillægges lidt mindre betydning nu. De......more
