Books by Brassai

Drawing on his experiences as a photographer and author, Brassai discovered a neglected aspect of Proust's interests, offering a study of the role of photography both in Proust's oeuvre and in early 20th-century culture. This translation features photographs from Brassai's "High Society" series.

Over the course of a number of warm, intimate conversations, Brassai and Miller, friends for many years, discuss art, literature, Paris, the lives and works of many others in their circle, including Lawrence Durrell, Henri Matisse, Salvador Dali and Paul Klee among others.
