  The World According to Proust

  Joshua Landy

  Marcel Proust (1871-1922) was arguably France's best-known literary writer. He was the author of stories, essays, translations, and a 3,000-page novel, In Search of Lost Time (1913-27). 
   
   
   
  This book is a brief guide to Proust's magnum opus in which Joshua Landy invites the listener to view the novel as a single quest—a quest for purpose, enchantment, identity, connection, and belonging—through the novel's fascinating treatments of memory, society, art, same-sex desire, knowledge, self-understanding, self-fashioning, and the unconscious mind. 
   
   
   
  Landy also shows why the questions Proust raises are important and exciting for all of us: how we can feel at home in the world; how we can find genuine connection with other human beings; how we can find enchantment in a world without God; whether an artist's life can shed light on their work; what we can know about the world, other people, and ourselves; when not knowing is better than knowing; how sexual orientation affects questions of connection and identity; who we are, deep down; what memory tells us about our inner world; why it might be good to think of our life as a story. Finally, Landy suggests why it's worthwhile to read the novel itself—how the long, difficult, but joyous experience of making it through 3,000 pages of prose can be transformative for our minds and souls.

  ‘I have been learning to heal and reclaim my identity. I will not wear the title of his victim any longer. I am a Survivor.’ 
  ‘I learnt I had the strength and courage to walk away, because I’m worth it.’ 
  In Violence to Victory each story starts with a fairy tale of living in the beautiful Australian bush... and turns into a nightmare. Ten women describe their unique experiences in rural, regional or remote Australia, in the silent spaces where everyone knows your business and yet doesn’t want to get involved. The vastness and lack of local services became yet another tool in the perpetrator’s arsenal of physical, verbal and sexual abuse, coercion, and emotional and financial abuse. 
  Each woman reached a turning point. They realised they mattered and unearthed their determination to escape and rebuild their lives. You will be inspired by each woman’s fortitude and be alerted to the red flags that are often initially dismissed by victims and those who support them. 
  Violence to Victory is not just about surviving violence. It is about reclaiming identity, rediscovering joy, and rebuilding a future once thought unreachable. This book does not offer simple answers. Instead, it offers the truth. It reveals the complexity of loving, leaving, healing and beginning again. 
  Violence to Victory will leave you shocked yet inspired to take action – to reduce barriers, provide support, recognise the red flags, volunteer, and give back to change lives.
