Proust and His Banker: In Search of Time Squandered by Gian Balsamo
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 2.MB
Overview: What Marcel Proust wanted from life most of all was unconditional requited love, and the way he went after it–smothering the objects of his affection with gifts–cost him a fortune. To pay for such extravagance, he engaged in daring speculations on the stock exchange. The task of his cousin and financial adviser, Lionel Hauser, was to make sure these speculations would not go sour. In Proust and His Banker, Gian Balsamo reveals that Proust was quite aware of the advantageous trade-off between financial indulgence and artistic inspiration; his liberal squandering of money provided the grist for fictional characters and incidents of surprising effectiveness, both in the artistic sphere and later on in the commercial one. But Hauser was not aware of this odd aspect of Proust’s creativity, nor could he have been since the positive returns from the writer’s masterpieces were late in coming.
