Editor's Note:
Op zoek naar de verloren tijd is één van de belangrijkste romans uit de wereldliteratuur. Het beschrijft de fasen in Prousts leven als de etappes van een geestelijke odyssee: sensuele roes, mondaine ambities, passie, ziekte en dood. De fasen in deze levensgeschiedenis lijken maar tot één conclusie te voeren: de ijdelheid van alle dingen. Van alle waardes waar Proust zijn hoop op stelde -maatschappelijk aanzien, liefde en kunst – blijft alleen de kunst behouden. De serie colleges neemt de luisteraar mee door de hele romancyclus en staat stil bij elk van de fasen in Prousts wordingsgeschiedenis.Bij het hoorcollege hoort een synopsis, deze kunt u hier downloaden.Deze uitgave is tot standgekomen met Studium Generale Universiteit Utrecht.Het hoorcollege Proust is alleen als download beschikbaar.

Het kunstwerk als droomOver de spreker: Buuren, Maarten vanProf.dr. Maarten van Buuren is als hoogleraar Franse taal- en letterkunde verbonden aan de Universiteit Utrecht. Hij studeerde Frans en Nederlands aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. In 1986 promoveerde hij aan het Instituut voor Algemene Literatuurwetenschap in Nijmegen op een proefschrift over de metaforiek in Les Rougon-Macquart van Emile Zola. Hij is gespecialiseerd in literatuurtheorie en Franse literatuur uit de 19e en 20e eeuw. Hij is tevens essayist, vertaler en auteur van diverse werken, zowel fictie als non-fictie.Bij Home Academy zijn van hem de volgende hoorcolleges verschenen: Proust, Desperate Housewives, Levenslot of levenskunst? (samen met Joep Dohmen) en Wenken voor het goede leven (samen met Joep Dohmen) RecensiesDeze aanwinst in de reeks audio-cd's met gevarieerde gebeiden bestrijkende hoorcolleges en lezingen is een op zeven schijven opgenomen hoorcollege van zeseneenhalf uur door de helder articulerende Utrechtse hoogleraar Van Buuren (1948) over Proust (1871 - 1922) en diens introspectieve romancyclus Op zoek naar de verloren tijd'.Wordingsgeschiedenis en inhoudelijke analyse concluderen tot een schrijfkunst die symbolisch geladen dromen tot esthetisch vormgegeven bewustzijn verheft. Artistieke noblesse ter ontstijging aan de in tal van typerende gluurscènes beschreven verwording en teloorgang van alledag, de vernietigende tijd, drieduizend bladzijden moeilijk toegankelijk kabbelend proza, offer ter wille van de kunst, dat uiteindelijk een rijke beloning voor het verstilde innerlijk inhoudt. Een begleidend boekje biedt onder meer aantekeningen over spreker en Proust, een synopsis van het hoorcollege en een korte, geannoteerde bibliografie. Toegankelijk en informatief.
