La monumental obra de Marcel Proust (1871-1922), En Busca del Tiempo Perdido es un inmenso retrato de toda una sociedad y es considerada como una de las grandes obras maestras de toda la literature. Como su nobre lo indica, Proust trató de recobrar en su novella en siete volúmenes lo que había sido el ayer y sus personajes están basados en el círculo del autor. La obra en total es un reflejo de uno de los más brillantes análisis de la conciencia que se hayan escrito.

Autoritratto magistrale per ricchezza di temi e leggerezza di tono, "Le piccole virtù" racconta di figli, di amicizie, di nostalgie, di infanzia, adolescenza e maturità. Come afferma Mario Fortunato nell'Introduzione, "questi testi non sono racconti e non sono saggi, ma pagine che fanno la spola tra un capo e l'altro dello stesso universo letterario." Scritti tra l’autunno del 1944 e la primavera del 1960, questi testi continuano a essere una lezione di vita e di letteratura.

On perd une respiration.
