| Abstrakt: | The article explores the profound yet subtle engagement of writer Marcel Proust with chinoiserie and Chinese art in his book "Search of Lost Time." Topics discussed include the influence of the Chinese novel "Jin Ping Mei" on Proust's writing style, the interplay of chinoiserie with themes of consumerism and aesthetic appreciation in his characters and the historical context of Proust's references to Chinese art during the tumultuous period of the early 20th century. |
