La Correspondance de Marcel Proust avec sa mère constitue à la fois une véritable biographie de l'écrivain, mais aussi et surtout une porte ouverte sur tous les éléments d'une vie sublimée par l'œuvre à la "Recherche du temps perdu", où on retrouve le narrateur sous un aspect parfois drôle, et souvent provocateur. La sélection de lettres que proposent les Éditions Thélème dresse le portrait vif d'un auteur pour qui "la littérature, c'est la vie".

Au fil de la correspondance qu'ils échangèrent, de 1866 à 1876, se révèlent deux conceptions du monde, deux esthétiques, deux tempéraments.

This collection, with about 400 letters from Americans of all walks of life, is being created to stand as a symbol of this exciting moment in history.
