Marketing Verbiage
Marcel Proust (1871-1922), a popular French author and philosopher who fascinated readers with his books and their brilliantly observed descriptions of people and nature. As a charismatic figure of the fine Parisian salons, he also delighted people with his rhetoric and wit. In his probably important work Remembrance of Things Past Proust's new literary stylistic device, the inner monologue, was combined masterfully with his analytical descriptions, which, in their candour, often allow readers to see themselves in them.
