Patul lui Procust by Camil Petrescu RO
RomaniaDescription:
Triunghiuri amoroase sunt destule in amandoua romanele lui Camil Petrescu de dinainte de razboi. Combustibilul care pune dorinta in miscare este, in amandoua, vanitatea. Daca pasiunea se analizeaza si formeaza obiectul prozei psihologice, vanitatea se reflecta in gesturi si formeaza obiectul prozei comportiste. Camil Petrescu, atat de dator lui Proust in tezele lui despre roman, nu-i datoreaza mare lucru in romane ca atare. Patul lui Procust e romanul unor vanitati ranite: a doamnei T. si a lui Fred Vasilescu, in primul rand. Tocmai ale celor carora Autorul le da cuvantul, pe care-i indeamna s... continue

Description:
In anul in care am implinit nouazeci de ani, am vrut sa-mi daruiesc o noapte de dragoste nebuna cu o adolescenta fecioara.” Aceasta e fraza cu care debuteaza romanul lui Garcia-Marquez. Un ziarist batrin decide sa-si sarbatoreasca a 90-a aniversare in stil mare, oferindu-si un cadou care il va face sa simta ca traieste: o adolescenta virgina. Intr-un bordel dintr-un oras pictural, o vede pe copila din spate, complet dezbracata, si viata sa se schimba radical. Acum, ca o cunoaste, simte ca ar putea muri, nu de batrinete, ci de dragoste.
