"Written over more than a decade and considerably altered by the outbreak of World War I and its author’s tragic experience of love and loss À la recherché du temps perdu is a work of formidable complexity both in its radically new conception of time and narrative and in its penetrating analysis of history man and society. . . . The novel’s seven volumes narrate the Narrator’s long gestation of a novel whose undertaking he continuously defers for the sake of more pressing preoccupations until threatened by old age and death he will eventually heed his calling. . . . In the course of this journey which the Narrator follows from childhood to mature age there emerges one of the most extraordinary portraits of French society from the Third Republic to the early 1920s and an exploration of the human mind whose perceptiveness subtlety and disturbing honesty remain unmatched to the present day."

1943483281943. Fine. 1943 21 x 13 cm en feuilles Autograph manuscript by the author four and a half pages in octavo published in the issue of Journal des Débats dated 12 May 1943. Complete recto-verso manuscript in a dense hand featuring numerous deletions corrections and additions. A literary column written on the occasion of the publication of Ramon Fernandezs book À la gloire de Proust. It was to Maurice Blanchot that his friend Emmanuel Levinas owed his discovery of the work of Marcel Proust which he deeply admired despite Charles Maurrass condemnationa judgment that at first failed to turn him away from it. What Blanchot valued most in Proust was his at times fluid rhythm and his remarkable sense of the scene. Placing him within his literary pantheon alongside the Marquis de Sade and Franz Kafka Blanchot was drawn in the early 1940s to the very nature of the experience Proust conveyed in his novels: « L'uvre de Proust est sortie d'états mystérieux qui semblent ne lui avoir été proposés que pour que cette uvre fût écrite. Ils ont servi de stimulant à une extraordinaire avidité de connaître et eux qui étaient d'abord une rupture de connaissance ont fourni un aliment inépuisable à la connaissance littéraire. Cependant ce n'est pas l'aspect le moins surprenant du Temps perdu que dans le flot d'images d'événements de théories de figures dont ils ont été par abus la source ces états aient gardé la valeur d'un secret en continuant selon le pouvoir qui leur était propre à paraître toujours plus mystérieux que l'uvre elle-même pourtant toute chargée de mystères. C'est en cela que Proust n'a pas trahi la révélation qu'il a rencontrée et dont il a offert l'image à la plus étendue et la plus admirable comme pour montrer qu'elle ne l'épuisait pas. » The text later revised would become part of the opening section of Faux Pas 1943 devoted to what Blanchot regarded as the fundamental question of inner experience. A very clean manuscript reflecting Blanchots clarity of thought on Proust. unknown
