THE FACILITIES AND DIFFICULTIES OF TRANSLATING PROUST À LA RECHERCHE DU TEMPS PERDU MASTERPIECE

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to offer a panoramic view of the difficulties of translating an epic masterpiece written by the most prolific and prodigious French writer Marcel Proust. Its creative language could be an obstacle for our contemporary reader, because of the lengthy language style and the remembrance of all the events that occurred in the private life of the author whose work we analyzed quickly and successfully. I am also interested in researching how these difficulties can be understood in contemporaneity and how this work's message can be reflected. To offer an enriched view of the analysis of A la recherche du temps perdu, we have used the technique of close reading the masterpiece entirely, focusing on how we can explain the lexical and syntactic difficulties.
