"Una imagen de Proust" por Walter Benjamin

The thirteen volumes of A la Recherche du Temps Perdu, Marcel Proust, are the result of a synthesis inconstruible in the submergence of the mystic, the art of prose, the spirit of satire, knowledge of the scholar and the timidity of monómano compose an autobiographical work. It has been said, rightly, that all great works of literature founded a genre or dissolve, it is that they are special cases. Among them is this one of the most elusive. Starting with the construction, which exposes the creation time, work reports and comments to the syntax of his sentences without banks (Nile penetrating language to fructificarlas in the widths of the truth), everything is out of compliance . The first knowledge that enriches those who consider this important case of literary creation, is that it represents the greatest achievement of recent decades. And the conditions are based are unhealthy in the extreme. A rare disease, a rare richness and abnormal predisposition. Not everything is a model in this life, but everything is exemplary. The outstanding literary execution of our day will marks its place in the heart of the impossible, in the center, while at the point of balance, of all dangers, further characterized in that great achievement of the "work of a life "as a last resort and for a long time. The image of Proust is the supreme expression physiognomy has been acquiring increasing irreteniblemente discrepancy between life and poetry. This is the morality that justifies the attempt to conjure the image.
