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

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.
