The first translation of painter and writer Józef Czapskis inspiring lectures on Proust, first delivered in a prison camp in the Soviet Union during World War II. During the Second World War, as a prisoner of war in a Soviet camp, and with nothing but memory to go on, the Polish artist and soldier Józef Czapski brought Marcel Prousts In Search of Lost Time to life for an audience of prison inmates. In a series of lectures, Czapski described the arc and import of Prousts masterpiece, sketched major and minor characters in striking detail, and movingly evoked the works originality, depth, and beauty. Eric Karpeles has translated this brilliant and -altogether unparalleled feat of the critical imagination into English for the first time, and in a thoughtful introduction he brings out how, in reckoning with Prousts great meditation on memory, Czapski helped his fellow officers to remember that there was a world apart from the world of the camp. Proust had staked the art of the novelist against the losses of a lifetime and the imminence of death. Recalling that triumphant wager, unfolding, like Sheherazade, the intricacies of Prousts world night after night, Czapski showed to men at the end of their tether that the past remained present and there was a future in which to hope.
