An unknown work by Marcel Proust will be published in France in March
In France, a previously unknown work by Marcel Proust entitled “Seventy-five Pages” will be released in March, The Guardian reports .
As noted, the classic of French modernism wrote this text in 1908, at about the same time as he was working on the cycle of novels “In Search of Lost Time”.
Literary scholars have searched for a manuscript that was considered lost for several decades. The text was found in the collection of the French publisher Bernard de Falois, who oversaw the publication of Proust's first novel, Jean Santeuil, which was not completed by the writer. Falois died three years ago and bequeathed his archives to the National Library of France.
Falois said that “Seventy-five Pages” is a diary of Proust's work. According to him, this text is intended to find the key to understanding all the novels written by the classic of the 20th century. The publishing house Gallimard, which will publish “Seventy-five Pages”, believes that this work will help to explore the work of Proust deeper.
Earlier it was reported that in March a new work by the winner of the Big Book Prize Guzel Yakhina will be released. This is a novel called “Echelon to Samarkand”.
