| Summary: | This article deals with a manuscript of a lecture on Marcel Proust given by the author and musician Hermann Grab (1903-1949) in the year 1933 in Prague. In a biographical and interpretative study of Marcel Proust's life and work, Grab's lecture tried to offer orientation in a time of growing anti-Semitism. Focusing on Proust's Jewish family, his illness and isolation, but especially on his main Jewish characters Charles Swann and Albert Bloch, Grab explains two ways of reacting to anti-Semitic threats. But moreover, and towards the end, a third option is revealed through this biographical-interpretive work. According to this, literary narrative seemed to be the key for Grab's approach, thus the lecture simultaneously reveals Grab's self-image as author. |
