Abstract

There are many difficulties for the common reader who starts to read Proust´s novel, Remembrance of things past (1913- 1927). Beginning with a reconstitution of the first readers sensations, this article aims to discuss these problems of reading Prousts novel through a confrontation with the Goethes novel of education and the modern social novels. Finally, regarding to Adornos essays on Proust and modern artistic expression, we try to demonstrate that the literary expression of Prousts novel makes visible a social experience. This experience, we believe, becomes the novels reading so difficult and complicate for the contemporary.
