The centenary of Marcel Proust's death offers an opportunity to explore the writer's Jewishness, a little-known part of his identity.
Born to a Catholic father and a Jewish mother, Proust was deeply influenced by his maternal family - the Weils - and his upbringing. A discreet, even cryptic, Jewishness shines through in his immense culture, in his Dreyfusard commitment, in the Jewish characters in In Search of Lost Time, and in the sharp eye he casts on the salons and society of his time.
Through exceptional iconography and the analyses of thirteen specialists, this work offers a fresh perspective on Proust and his work, highlighting the innermost aspects of his personality.
