Mémoire Du Duel Dans À La Recherche Du Temps Perdu, Yan Hamel
Mémoire Du Duel Dans À La Recherche Du Temps Perdu, Yan Hamel
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
This paper analyses the duel as a central motive in Marcel Proust’s novel À la recherche du temps perdu. In the novels cycle, it appears that the occasions the men have to fight or to watch a duel help to understand why that violent practice increased during the last decade before the second World War. The practice seems to be monstrous morally and socially.
