Musical reading: Monsieur Proust by Céleste Albaret, performed by the Compagnie La Renaissance
During the last ten years of Marcel Proust's life (1871–1922), while he was writing most of his work À la Recherche du Temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time), Céleste Albaret lived with him as a devoted servant and, in a way, as his muse. With an intelligence inspired by her master's genius, she describes these extraordinary years spent alongside her beloved writer.
