French novelist, best known for his 3000 page masterpiece la recherche du temps perdu Remembrance of Things Past or In Search of Lost Time , a pseudo autobiographical novel told mostly in a stream of consciousness style Born in the first year of the Third Republic, the young Marcel, like his narrator, was a delicate child from a bourgeois family He was active in Parisian high society during the 80s and 90s, welcomed in the most fashionable and exclusive salons of his day However, his position there was also one of an outsider, due to his Jewishness and homosexuality Towards the end of 1890s Proust began to withdraw and from society, and although he was never entirely reclusive, as is sometimes made out, he lapsed completely into his lifelong tendency to sleep during the day and work at night He was also plagued with severe asthma, which had troubled him intermittently since childhood, and a terror of his own death, especially in case it should come before his novel had been completed The first volume, after some difficulty finding a publisher, came out in 1913, and Proust continued to work with an almost inhuman dedication on his masterpiece right up until his death in 1922, at the age of 51.Today he is widely recognised as one of the greatest authors of the 20th Century, and la recherche du temps perdu as one of the most dazzling and significant works of literature to be written in modern times.
