The article is an attempt at analysing the biographical episode which inclined Proust to rework Bergotte’s death in In Search of Lost Time. Renzi shows how literature (or more generally: art) and life intertwine. By analysing fragments of Proust’s famous novel as well as his records and letters, the author presents the French writer as an avid fan of Vermeer’s paintings. He also touches upon the history of the influence of the Dutch painter on Proust’s works.

The name of Jiří Pechar is inextricably tied up with the Czech translation of Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time. The second complete publication of the novel was undertaken by the publisher Rybka in 2012 — its first two volumes, translated by Prokop Voskovec, were carefully revised and the rendition of the third to seventh volumes was, after Voskovec’s death, taken up by Pechar. Pechar’s participation in the revision was crucial as he drew on his profound knowledge of Proust’s complete oeuvre and its specifics. This analysis relies on the working document provided by Pechar, and it reveals that it is possible not only to generalize about the emendations and categorize them, but also to present the arguments accompanying them. Based on a detailed comparison of selected passages, it makes it clear that Pechar’s translation does work in Czech: besides being sophisticated and well grounded in theory, it offers brilliantly worded, reader-friendly solutions.

In the 1913 edition of “Swann’s way,” the narrator’s grandparents’ village, Combray, is located in the Beauce (South-West from Paris). When Proust worked for a new edition in 1916, he moved Combray eastwards, to the Front in Champagne so that the war could take place in the novel. A large part of “Time regained” is about the war. The Baron of Charlus expresses Proust’s critique of nationalism. As a sensitive aesthete, he worries about the terrible killing going on, about men’s sufferings during an industrial war, and about the future of Europe. The church in Combray has been destroyed. The narrator’s grandmother considered its steeple as a symbol of plainness, elegance, and sensitivity. Its ruins become a symbol of sheer violence and inhumanity of wars. But Proust will rebuild it in his novel. Jorge Semprun, Varlam Chalamov and Joseph Czapski, prisoners in totalitarian states, remembered Proust’s humanism.
