Lorenza Foschini: Proust's Overcoat: The True Story of One Man's Passion for All Things Proust

Proust's Overcoat: The True Story of One Man's Passion for All Things Proust


Description

The story of the overcoat begins with a chance meeting - between an obsessive bibliophile, Jacques Guerin, the head of a French perfume house, and his physician, Dr Robert Proust, brother of the late writer. Glimpsing the possibility of adding to his collection, Guerin stumbles into a tense and tangled relationship with the novelist's family who, embarrassed by Proust's writings and his homosexuality, are in the process of destroying the mountain of notebooks, letters and manuscripts they had inherited. Little by little, over decades, Guerin acquires Marcel's remaining personal effects, including - eventually - the relic he had come to covet more than any other: the moth-eaten otter-lined overcoat Proust had worn every day and used as a blanket every night while writing in bed. Like the novelist's second skin, this coat was as close as Guerin could ever come to touching Proust himself: it was the jewel of his collection.

Believing that something is wrong with us is a deep and tenacious suffering, says Tara Brach at the start of this illuminating book. This suffering emerges in crippling self-judgments and conflicts in our relationships, in addictions and perfectionism, in loneliness and overwork--all the forces that keep our lives constricted and unfulfilled. Radical Acceptance offers a path to freedom, including the day-to-day practical We the Animals ebook pdf guidance developed over Dr. Brach s twenty years of work with therapy clients and Buddhist students. In this practical guide, Sylvia Martinez and Gary Stager provide K-12 educators with the how, why, and cool stuff that supports classroom making. Nothing is exempt from the power of guidance that Gary offers in this book. Divorce, loss, failure, burden, health… There is no circumstance or concern that won’t be affected and elevated to a state of workability by his offerings. Within the pages of this book, you will find the power you’ve given away and use it to untwist the veil that clouds how you see life.When you’re finished reading it you’ll likely find yourself going back to it over and over to feel the energy and passion that Gary puts into helping the world undo a lifetime of what’s been done by them. You’ll find yourself owning more than you ever thought you were responsible for and you’ll actually feel good about it, no in fact, great about it.
