Acerca de este libro electrónico
A new translation from the original French manuscripts of Marcel Proust's The Lemoine Case (L'Affaire Lemoine). This edition contains a new Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Proust's life and works and a glossary of philosophic concepts in his body of work. Published in 1921 as a novella, this work explores themes of identity, deception, and the nature of truth through a tale about a man named Lemoine, who gains fame and adoration by falsely claiming to be a renowned military hero. In an argument for Nietzsche's Subjectivism, Proust questions the reliability of appearances and the power of social constructs in shaping public perception. The novella delves into the complexities of human behavior, offering reflections on the allure of personal narratives and the intricate interplay between truth and falsehood.
