PROUST IN DITO.Estos ocho relatos excepcionales de un joven Marcel Proust han permanecido in ditos durante m s de un siglo. Probablemente fueron v ctimas de su propia censura, ya que la mayor a ponen en escena el deseo homosexual #un tema que ronda su obra maestra, En busca del tiempo perdido# con excesiva osad a. Compilados en la d cada de 1950 por Bernard de Fallois, el m tico editor de Marcel Pagnol y Jo l Dicker, y autor del ensayo Proust antes de Proust, que dedic gran parte de su vida al estudio de la obra del escritor, estos cuentos suscitan m ltiples lecturas. Como dice Alan Pauls en su pr logo: «Es esa hipersensibilidad hacia lo maleable, y la voluntad de seguirle la pista, siempre, no importa ad nde nos lleve, la raz n por la que estos relatos ...] nos capturan: leemos a Proust porque es nuestro contempor neo . ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Newly discovered stories from one of the great storytellers of the twentieth century Throughout Proust's life, nine of his short stories remained unseen - the writer never spoke of them. Why did he choose not to publish them along with the others? One possible answer is that he was developing his themes in preparation for his masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time; another is that the stories were too audacious - too near to life - for the censorious society of the time. In these stories, published here for the first time, we find an intimate picture of a young author full of darkness and melancholy, longing to reveal his true self to the world.
