Los salones y la vida de París. Prólogo de Luis Antonio de Villena Los hasta ahora desconocidos artículos de Los salones y la vida de París nos revelan no sólo los inicios literarios del celebérrimo autor de ""En busca del tiempo perdido"" sino también algunas claves importantes de la psicología y del mundo personal de Marcel Proust (1871-1922).A finales del siglo XIX la crónica de salón constituía en toda Europa, especialmente en Francia, una suerte de género literario. El joven Proust fue uno de sus más esforzados cultivadores. El trato y el retrato de la “alta sociedad” francesa del momento alimentaban ya, prefigurándolo de algún modo, el secreto universo de Guermantes. Nuestra edición cuenta con un esclarecedor prólogo del muy proustiano Luis Antonio de Villena.

Biblio’s Book Conditions

• As New
  The book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.
• Fine (F)
  A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.
• Near Fine (NrFine or NF)
  Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.
• Very Good (VG)
  A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
• Good (G or Gd.)
  The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”
• Fair
  It is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.
• Poor (P)
  A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
