Synopsis "Proust and Signs: The Complete Text "

The essential work on Proust--now in paperback! In a remarkable instance of literary and philosophical interpretation, the incomparable Gilles Deleuze reads Marcel Proust's work as a narrative of an apprenticeship--more precisely, the apprenticeship of a man of letters. Considering the search to be one directed by an experience of signs, in which the protagonist learns to interpret and decode the kinds and types of symbols that surround him, Deleuze conducts us on a corollary search--one that leads to a new understanding of the signs that constitute A la recherche du temps perdu. In Richard Howard's graceful translation, augmented with an essay that Deleuze added to a later French edition, Proust and Signs is the complete English version of this work. Admired as an imaginative and innovative study of Proust and as one of Deleuze's more accessible works, Proust and Signs stands as the writer's most sustained attempt to understand and explain the work of art.

Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) was an influential French philosopher whose work spans metaphysics, epistemology, and cultural critique. His thought is characterized by the exploration of concepts such as multiplicity, difference, and becoming. He wrote both solo and in collaboration with other thinkers, especially Félix Guattari.

Among his most notable works are Difference and Repetition (1968), a fundamental text in contemporary philosophy, and A Thousand Plateaus (1980), co-written with Guattari, part of their Capitalism and Schizophrenia project. Other significant works include Anti-Oedipus (1972) and The Logic of Sense (1969). His philosophical output falls within the genres of essay and critical theory, with a strong influence on disciplines such as literature, politics, and psychoanalysis.
