Biographische Skizze von Marcel Proust (1871-1922) Am 3. September 1870 heiraten Dr. Adrien Proust und Jeanne Weil in einem Zivilakt. Die Familie Proust stammt aus Illiers (Dpt. Eure-et-Loir) und ist katholisch, die Familie Weil ist jüdisch und stammt aus der Nähe von Stuttgart. Am 10. Juli 1871 wird Marcel in Auteuil in der Nähe des Bois de Boulogne zur Welt gebracht. Die politische Situation ist durch zwei Faktoren bestimmt, nämlich einerseits durch das Ende des deutsch-französischen Krieges und andererseits durch den Pariser Kommune-Aufstand. Im August wird Marcel getauft; nach jüdischem (und katholischem) Kultus richtet sich die Religionszugehörigkeit gewöhnlich nach der Mutter. Mme. Adrien Proust bringt am 24. Mai 1873 ihren zweiten Sohn Robert zur Welt. Die Familie Proust zieht im August von 8, rue Roy nach 9, bvd. Malesherbes um, beide Wohnungen liegen im 8. Arrondissement von Paris. Ostern 1878 fährt die Familie Proust nach Illiers bei Chartres, um dort die Ferien zu verbringen. Nach Dr. Adrien Proust wurde in Illiers eine Straße benannt, als Hommage an Marcel Proust wurde der Ort in Illiers-Combray umbenannt.

UK Audio Visual Marcel (Valentin-Louis-George-Eugene) Proust (1871-1922) Saturday, September 28 2002 @ 04:04 PM EDT Contributed by: John Views: 79 French novelist, best known for Á LA RECHERCHE DU TEMPS PERDU (Remembrance of Things Past), his autobiographical novel told mostly in a stream-of-consciousness style. The work collected pieces from Proust's childhood, observations of high class life-style, gossips, recollections of the closed world, where the author never found his place. The key scene is when a madeleine cake (a small, rich cookie-like pastry) enables the narrator to experience the past completely as a simultaneous part of his present existence: "And suddenly the memory revealed itself: The taste was that of the little piece of madeleine which on Sunday mornings at Combray (because on those mornings I did not go out before mass), when I went to say good morning to her in her bedroom, my aunt Léonie used to give me, dipping it first in her own cup of tea or tisane."

Plagiarized by The Hapless Dilettante News Marcel Proust, 1871-1922 Marcel Proust was born in 1871 in Paris. His childhood coincided with France's post-Commune era; Paris was being rebuilt into a modern city with wide boulevards and modern buildings, automobiles were being introduced, the Eiffel Tower was completed and the Statue of Liberty was soon to be sent to America. "It was an era of ferment, social change, and new ideas." Marcel's father was a medical doctor and his mother was an affluent Jewish stockbroker. Their wealth provided him with a privileged upbringing; he enjoyed country gardens, the friendship of relatives and studying at private schools. When he was 18 he joined the infantry for one year. Oddly enough, for a young man who was sickly, homosexual, and introspective, he later reflected fondly upon the experience. The military restrictions, he explained, contributed to a happy time, "in which pleasure is the more constantly with us because we have no time to run about looking for it and so miss it altogether." As a Jew, a homosexual, and an asthmatic semi-invalid, Proust learned early in life that he was an outsider and adopted a voyeur approach to the social customs he saw around him. Thus he was able to view the aristocratic enclaves from a fresh perspective and with a shrewd insight into individuals he would later fictionalize in revealing detail.
