It is set in 91 BC when Lucius Licinius Crassus dies just before the Social War and the civil war between Marius and Sulla during which Marcus Antonius orator the other great orator of this dialogue dies. During this year the author faces a difficult political situation: after his return from exile in Dyrrachium modern Albania his house was destroyed by the gangs of Clodius in a time when violence was common. This was intertwined with the street politics of Rome.1<br/><br/>Amidst the moral and political decadence of the state Cicero wrote De Oratore to describe the ideal orator and imagine him as a moral guide of the state. He did not intend De Oratore as merely a treatise on rhetoric but went beyond mere technique to make several references to philosophical principles. Cicero understood that the power of persuasion—the ability to verbally manipulate opinion in crucial political decisions—was a key issue. The power of words in the hands of a man without scruples or principles would endanger the whole community.<br/><br/>As a consequence moral principles can be taken either by the examples of noble men of the past or by the great Greek philosophers who provided ethical ways to be followed in their teaching and their works. The perfect orator shall be not merely a skilled speaker without moral principles but both an expert of rhetorical technique and a man of wide knowledge in law history and ethical principles. De Oratore is an exposition of issues techniques and divisions in rhetoric; it is also a parade of examples for several of them and it makes continuous references to philosophical concepts to be merged for a perfect result.

This first volume described the narratorÃs childhood and contains the celebrated madeleine episode. Publication of subsequent volumes was interrupted by the war. This novel famously turned by Gide for the N.R.F was published at the authorÃs expense by Grasset. By 1918 the N.R.F had realised its huge blunder and published A lÃombre des jeunes filles en fleurs which won the Prix Goncourt and established Proust as a major literature figureî From Stendhal to RenÈ Char: Le Cabinet de livres de Renaud Gillet SothebyÃs 27 October 1999 lot 64. ìTranslated by Scott Moncreiff as SwannÃs Way etc. ProustÃs great novel A la recherche du temps perdu is something that happens once in a hundred years like Les Fleurs du Mal or War and Peace. He combined tragic poetical insight with the gift of creating comic characters in the round like Shakespeare. He is consistently both intelligent and poetic. Bergsonian philosophy of time gives depth Ruskinian aesthetics texture. Embittered by his homosexual bias and disabling asthma he shows some deterioration in the unrevised volumes though not enough to upset this magisterially executed conception of a master-mind in which art erects its monument to dead loves using for material only thought and the passage of time. ëIt appeals to our sense of wonder and gains our hommage by its veiled greatness.

Additionally an autograph letter signed ALS by Gerard Hopkins is laid in. "Covering as they do the period from 1902 when Proust was thirty-one until 1920 these frank and often demanding confidences afford us fascinating glimpses into the mind of a writer who having already achieved a measure of literary success is in the throes of composing his chef d'oeuvre - a work unique in the annals of literature. They throw fresh light on Proust's technique and provide a number of keys to the still hotly debated problems set by that most subjective of masterpieces - A la Recherche du Temps Perdu."
