"It's an entertaining look at a very specialized aspect of history--how people met their timely--or perhaps, untimely ends ... Some of the people are famous, including presidents, famous scientists, writers, composers and artists, and so on. Others are more obscure ... Some of the demises are funny, others are sad, and others are merely odd or interesting. The book covers hundreds of people, and the entries range from a few sentences to several paragraphs, depending on how complicated the events leading up to the person's death were, or how involved the death itself was ... And some of the most famous people died quite ordinary, mundane, and fairly boring deaths." -- from customer rev. amazon.ca (Magellan).

Is science the only path to knowledge? In this sparkling and provocative book, Jonah Lehrer explains that when it comes to understanding the brain, art got there first. Taking a group of celebrated writers, painters and composers, Lehrer shows us how artists have discovered truths about the human mind - real, tangible truths - that science is only now rediscovering. We learn, for example, how Proust first revealed the fallibility of memory; how George Eliot understood the brain's malleability; how the French chef Escoffier intuited umami (the fifth taste); how Cézanne worked out the subtleties of vision; and how Virginia Woolf pierced the mysteries of consciousness. It's a riveting tale of art trumping science again and again.

Remembrance of Things Past. The Sweet Cheat Gone. Marcel Proust. Translated from the French by C. K. Scott Moncrieff. The bonds that unite another person to ourself exist only in our mind. Memory as it grows fainter relaxes them, and notwithstanding the illusion by which we would fain be cheated and with which, out of love, friendship, politeness, deference, duty, we cheat other people, we exist alone. Man is the creature that cannot emerge from himself, that knows his fellows only in himself; when he asserts the contrary, he is lying.We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes. The situation that we hoped to change because it was intolerable becomes unimportant. We have not managed to surmount the obstacle, as we were absolutely determined to do, but life has taken us round it, led us past it, and then if we turn round to gaze at the remote past, we can barely catch sight of it, so imperceptible has it become.A woman is of greater service to our life if she is in it, instead of being an element of happiness, an instrument of sorrow, and there is not a woman in the world the possession of whom is as precious as that of the truths which she reveals to us by causing us to suffer.1. Grief and Oblivion. 2. Mademoiselle De Forcheville. 3. Venice. 4. A Fresh Light Upon Robert De Saint-Loup

This is the final volume of Proust's In Search Of Lost Time. The book chronicles the years of World War I, when, as M. de Charlus reflects on a moonlit walk, Paris threatens to become another Pompeii. Years later, after the war's end, Proust's narrator returns to Paris, where Mme. Verdurin has become the Princesse de Guermantes. He reflects on time, reality, jealousy, artistic creation, and the raw material for literature-his past life.

“Taylor’s endeavor is not to explain the life by the novel or the novel by the life but to show how different events, different emotional upheavals, fired Proust’s imagination and, albeit sometimes completely transformed, appeared in his work. The result is a very subtle, thought-provoking book.”—Anka Muhlstein, author of Balzac’s Omelette and Monsieur Proust’s Library Marcel Proust came into his own as a novelist comparatively late in life, yet only Shakespeare, Balzac, Dickens, Tolstoy, and Dostoyevsky were his equals when it came to creating characters as memorably human. As biographer Benjamin Taylor suggests, Proust was a literary lightweight before writing his multivolume masterwork In Search of Lost Time, but following a series of momentous historical and personal events, he became—against all expectations—one of the greatest writers of his, and indeed any, era. This insightful, beautifully written biography examines Proust’s artistic struggles—the “search” of the subtitle—and stunning metamorphosis in the context of his times. Taylor provides an in-depth study of the author’s life while exploring how Proust’s personal correspondence and published works were greatly informed by his mother’s Judaism, his homosexuality, and such dramatic events as the Dreyfus Affair and, above all, World War I. As Taylor writes in his prologue, “Proust’s Search is the most encyclopedic of novels, encompassing the essentials of human nature. . . . His account, running from the early years of the Third Republic to the aftermath of World War I, becomes the inclusive story of all lives, a colossal mimesis. To read the entire Search is to find oneself transfigured and victorious at journey’s end, at home in time and in eternity too.”

Originally published in 1896, Proust's first book consists of stories and sketches on a variety of subjects including love, jealousy, ambition, time, and death, themes he was later to perfect in Remembrance of Things Past. In his biography of Proust, G.D. Painter remarked that these early stories are "reservoirs of Time Lost, a vat from which, after their long steeping, Mme. Fremer, Baldassare Silvande, Hippolyta, Honore, will emerge utterly transfigured as Mme. Verdurin, Uncle Adolphe, Oriane de Guermantes, the Narrator...Proust is already speaking with authority of Time, Jealousy, Habit, Oblivion.
