LUZIUS KELLER AND STEFAN ZWEIFEL: PROUST IN ENGADIN

About the talk

A conversation between Luziuz Keller and Stefan Zweifel. The two philologists discuss the experiences of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and French novelist Marcel Proust in the valley of Engadin. Surprisingly – or not – both Nietzsche's and Proust’s stay in the Engadin lead to a “critique des mondains.”

“When we read Proust, we discover our own memories and, of course, we are also occasionally removed from time.”

– Luzius Keller
