The hitherto unknown articles in The Salons and the Life of Paris reveal not only the literary beginnings of the famous author of In Search of Lost Time but also some important keys to the psychology and personal world of Marcel Proust (1871-1922). In the literature of any truly great writer there is no small or uninteresting work, especially if, as is the case, he is possessed of a strong and incorruptible sense of self-criticism. At the end of the 19th century, salon chronicles constituted a kind of literary genre throughout Europe, especially in France. The young Marcel Proust was one of its most dedicated cultivators. The treatment and portrait of the French "high society" of the time already fed, prefiguring it in some way, the secret universe of Guermantes. Our edition has an enlightening prologue by the very Proustian Luis Antonio de Villena.
