Bringing together doctors, psychoanalysts and literary writers, the texts of this volume, which presents an interdisciplinary dimension, are focused on Proust, the man as his work. If the work has underground links with the biography - the authority of a hygienist father, the asthma of which the writer suffers, the psychotherapy he has followed - populated by characters of doctors and patients, on stage there is no tension between creative will and existential anguish. The relations between aesthetics and dolorism, between hysteria and literary creation, intermittent heart and cardiology, representations of death, neurasthenia, dreams, these different aspects make Proust a pioneer of neuroscience.--Pole Proust.
