Marcel Proust en verve, Paperback Book, By: Marcel Proust

What is verve? To define it, dictionaries, like the Grand Littre and the Petit Larousse, use a metaphor: heat of imagination they say ... Happiness of expression that surprises the reader, suddenly stopped by a word, a reflection, a part, whose accuracy and unexpected humor left him delighted in front of the open page. Since the language exists, the verve belongs only to those who are taken by the rage of the words and the verb. In short, all the great creators and virtuosos of language. But it doesn't just appear in printed works; some entrust it to their diary, or sow it in happy phrases in conversation. The brightest (which are not always the best known) are gathered in this collection.
