2021World Figures from History and Culture Jean De La Fontaine and Marcel Proust - Brochure with Set - Collectibles CTO

The notion of the value of an artistic work is often only reached in posterity. Even more so when the creation takes several years to complete. But every story is different. Just look at Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695) and Marcel Proust (1871-1922), major figures in French and universal literature, who met with different fates in terms of public appreciation of their masterpieces. The ‘Fables,’ in the case of La Fontaine, and ‘In Search of Lost Time,’ by Proust.
