Here's a very interesting comment on the issue of Proust translations by an important and very well known Proust scholar, Christopher Prendergast. I hope you'll find it interesting and thought provoking. 46:25-53:20: ruclips.net/video/SQa5fsMvQn0/видео.html

Blake is a jew not British

The USA has only always gained greatly by setting up a world in which others fail. The faster the rest of the world realizes this, the better. *Washington DC power mongers employ the divide and rule technique of power.* In the past, and as one of the Big Three at Versailles, they covertly set up Europe for failure, masked behind overt expressions of "fighting for freedom and democracy." In reality, Versailles was a covert implementation of the divide and rule technique. _Europe was divided, with a ruling._ This strategy is often misunderstood, in narratives composed mostly of "being friends" or "being rivals/enemies", even though it only means that one can gain greatly if others are divided and fail. It _is_ as simple as that. "Friends" or "enemies" play no role: if others fail, the own systems gain. After Europe failed, the final domino stone Washington DC actively toppled was the British Empire. After two world wars, with countless emerging struggles in the colonies, so by 1945 the already seriously weakened and overextended Great Britain was an easy pushover... When Europe failed, as all states fought to mutual exhaustion, who gained most? From "Super Imperialism: The Economic Strategy of American Empire." -- Michael Hudson, 2nd edition 2003 "What actually occurred was that Britain and other countries became hopelessly indebted to the United States once again (edit: during World War 2) ... “We have profited by our past mistakes,” announced Roosevelt in a speech delivered on September 3, 1942. “This time we shall know how to make full use of victory.” This time the U.S. Government would conquer its allies in a more enlightened manner, by demanding economic concessions of a legal and political nature instead of futilely seeking repayment of its wartime loans (of World War 1). The new postwar strategy sought and secured foreign markets for U.S. exports, and new fields for American investment capital in Europe’s raw materials producing colonial areas. Despite Roosevelt’s assurances to the contrary, Britain was compelled, under the Lend-Lease agreements and the terms of the first great U.S. postwar loan to Britain, to relinquish Empire Preference and to open all its markets to U.S. competition, at a time when Britain desperately needed these markets as a means by which to fund its sterling debt. Most important of all, Britain was forced to unblock its sterling and foreign-exchange balances built up by its colonies and other Sterling Area countries during the wartime years. Instead of the Allied Powers as a whole bearing the costs of these wartime credits to British Empire countries, they would be borne by Britain itself. Equally important, they would not be used as “blocked” balances that could be used only to buy British or other Sterling Area exports, but would be freed to purchase exports from any nation. Under postwar conditions this meant that they would be used in large part to purchase U.S. exports. (page 115/116) By relinquishing its right to block these balances, Britain gave up its option, while enabling the United States to make full use of its gold stock as the basis for postwar lending to purchased generalized (primarily U.S.) exports. At a stroke, Britain’s economic power was broken. What Germany as foe had been unable to accomplish in two wars against Britain, the United States accomplished with ease as its ally.(Page 117) Furthermore, under the terms on which it joined the International Monetary Fund, Britain could not devalue the pound sterling so as to dissipate the foreign-exchange value of these balances. Its liability thus was maximized - and so was America’s gain from the pool of liquidity that these balances now represented." (end of) *Only ONE attribute decides whether a system is THE DIVIDER, or becomes a part of "the divided": POWER.* After 1945 London was turned from its role of "divider of the world" into the role of "one of the divided" (the role of FAVORITE junior partner, the "peaceful handover of power" and related "special relationship"-narrative. "Special"-relationship in a power balance. These Washington DC power mongers must be rotfl...) Whatever... If your state or nation is "not at the table," you are "lunch" (Anthony Blinken). The dividers telling everybody in no uncertain terms, that their interests and even their lives don't count. *There is no doubt that Washington DC is attempting to repeat this "success" (pov) in the rising powers of Asia. The strategy can be observed to be implemented in the same way as was set up post-1900 in Europe, but in Europe the "buck catchers" (John Mearsheimer theory) were Great Britain and France. Today, it is India being used in the same role as France was 100 years ago. In case of a wider war in Asia, as India is set up against China, qui bono if _all_ lose?* The technique Washington DC employed up to the year 2000, is an almost exact repeat of the technique they used to overpower Europe around the year 1900: DIVIDE AND RULE. Divide and rule *creates* all that follows in its wake: 1) The terrorist. 2) The state of terror. 3) The terror state.

Thank you for this lovely interview! Such a treat to hear my favorite author speak. I adore her written words. Ms. Johnson, perish the thought that your works could ever be less than treasured.

It's strange how much effort the British media is putting into creating a fake hate between Croats and Serbs. Why are the British so afraid of unity between Croats and Serbs? They seem to be desperately searching for any small, unimportant, or nonexistent issues that can be used to perpetuate hate between the two groups. In every country, there are typically two main football clubs in rivalry - for example, Manchester United and Arsenal in the UK, or Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain. In Yugoslavia, it was Dinamo Zagreb and Red Star Belgrade, and now in Croatia it is Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split. But the difference are that bloody clashes between fans of Manchester and Arsenal, Barcelona and Madrid are a daily occurrence. This trend makes it hard to keep a track on every incident. This explains why is much easier to focus on one incident, like the Zvonimir Boban case in 1990 to perpetuate the belief that Croats and Serbs are sworn enemies who cannot coexist peacefully. This incident is being blown out of proportion by the media in order to fuel hate between the two groups. As a summary, in this video Zvonimir Boban made it clear that he doesnt and he never had anything against the serbs or the other yugoslav nations. Just because he wanted independent croatia, that doesnt mean that he is a hater, or that he hates the other yugoslav nations. He talked about the freedom of speech in his former communist country, and not about the hate to the people of the other nationalities in Yugoslavia.

Quite interesting. Always pleasant to hear Proust talk. If only the interviewer would stop fiddling with her face!

Have just started listening to the audio. Thank you! What others are you considering? The Paris opera house perhaps?

We learned so much from Alice Kaplan, my daughter did a living wax museum and is very proud to have represented her works.

Thank you so much for this!!!

Obrigado, Caroline, aqui do Brasil. Sei que vou parecer presunçoso, mas " descobri" Proust aos 30 anos, estou com 61 e já li e reli a série 6 vezes, com descobertas e com mais prazer a cada releitura. Penso que sou proustmaníaco( sei que não existe claro, este termo). Proust é um mundo.

Has anyone ever considered a possibility that Charles de Gaulle had him killed so he would not be someone to oppose him coming to power up on liberation of France? You notice how quickly to go had the resistance Marquis disarmed at the end of the war, it is much easier to make a power grap if you are doing it in an unarmed country,

KRISTEVA s book on Pr : Time And Sense - care to comment ? 2) Germaine BREE s book on Pr 3) CUKOR s film RICH AND FAMOUS where the Jacqueline Bissett character says sth concerning Pr to the Candice Bergen character, but I can t recall exactly what. C a n s b y fill us in on those ? O er

NDE - RESEARCH & its achievements toward Proust s "findings" and their insights in relation to I Ching... =what do we know about anything, and can we know more while staying on this side of the Ignorance ... (?). My dissertation that will NEVUHHHH be ..

I am about to start reading In Search of Lost Time. I have all 7 volumes and will journal my reading as I go along.

Caroline Weber's energetic love of Proust is such a joy to witness. Presently reading 'Proust's Duchess' by Caroline Weber, such a captivating read.

Americans are so stuck into their stupid universities. So little individuality...

One of the more interesting theories about why General DeGaulle shouted, "Vive le Québec! Vive le Québec libre" from the high balcony on Montréal's City Hall" in 1967 when Canadians were joyfully celebrating Canada's Centennial is that he was still nursing a grudge because the Canadian government under William Lyon Mackenzie King (a Liberal) did not recognize DeGaulle's Free French government until 1943 because it didn't want to tick off the Québecois who were under the sway of the far right Roman Catholic church and the Quebec Duplessis government at the time. The Revolution Tranquille in Quebec hadn't happened yet in the 1940s and is even said to have been inspired by the presence of Free French agents and sympathizers in Montreal who couldn't believe how under the thumb of the Roman Catholic church Quebec was. This interview provides me with food for thought. History is a very complicated business, isn't it?

Why are they shouting all the time?

Talking slower will ennoble you, will show that you are really one and behind each word, each phrase, each concept and not letting your mind and your ego push an push words way faster than you would want, beauty nobility clarity and ability to convince others will only happen when there is a slowing down, a humility to know that `simple` is very difficult, as far as Proust, one comment below I think nails it, Proust goes around in circles,eternally so, enjoying floating from thought to thought and from the ability (or disability) to render his thoughts clear and in so doing stronger, and unable to enhance drama, reading it is a good training intellectually, but there is not much in it, perhaps his internal disorder did not allow him to achieve real literary beauty and strength.

WW2/WW1 was result of denying sovereignty of a few European nations, Germany, Hungary, Austria, felt they were being dictated on internal matters. How do you decide who is the other? Old views against new truth. A new confidence or new circumstance to reject an old equation. World can never remain the same, a new power is born every century.

I'd like to hear what that first husband of hers has to say about getting to really know people. I will say my first impression is of a very entertaining introduction to Proust.

Thank you for this. Do you have anything on James Joyce and the novel Ulysse?

One does not simply read Proust, one studies and passionately so, or otherwise it is futile.

very helpful per se but I found the discussion about having reading in French superfluous. Of course if one can read the given language reading it in the original is more than a no-brainer. Imagine forgoing reading things in only the language you can speak. How ridiculous is that? For the majority of the native English speakers it rules out all of the Greek classics, all of renown religious and many philosophical writings. I need not expand.

Always great to hear - or read - Margaret McMillan.

he was a good player, but he is a great nationalist, almost a fascist, and everyone knows that in the former Yugoslavia. he will never tell the truth that the Serbs and Belgrade saved him when he attacked a policeman in Zagreb, otherwise he would have ended up in court and in prison.

Soviet Air Groups were ahead of rge AVG in support of the Nationalists from the battle of Shanghai in 1937 until the summer of 1941. Chennault wasn't even allowed to recruit on US military bases until Indochina was occupied by the Japanese. Until then it was Japan that we supported with the overwhelming majority of their oil needs even through and after the USS Panay attack and sinking.. I saw "The 800". with English soundtrack. It was kind of like the Alamo but with summary executions and cursing. Pretty good movie actually.

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview

I’ve never been a fan of Brussel Prousts, even though they’re very popular with a Roast Dickens dinner.

"I feel like I didn't understand the whole thing but wanted to cry anyway." (Paraphrasing the host.) You have summed up all of Proust to so many!

Absolutely loved this. So look fwd to reading PDuchess when ive completed In Search.. You were both wonderful to listen to thank you!

Nice video! I’m living in Japan and they have wonderful French breads. I have not knowingly had any other French style breads. In the past, when I’ve used American flours, I did not wow over the taste and texture but, I loved the smell. Is it possible to get French tasting bread using American flours?

M.MacMillan knows a great deal about WWI and the consequences that followed!

Scream much?

I am currently creating an online French literature course to be marketed and sold by my company, LinguaTute. This would be an 8-week long course consisting of one live class (1.5hrs) every week, which will be taught by a PhD French literature student at Oxford University. I'd really love to hear people's opinions on what should be included in this French literature course - in return I can offer you a 10% discount on the course (which we will begin delivering around the end of May/beginning of April - specific date is still to be decided). If you would like to have a chat with me and help to shape the future of this course, please respond to this comment. Thank you!!

Interesting programme, but Macmillan does not declare she is related to Lloyd George. To the Irish he was crafty, duplicitous and in the words of one historian spoke out of both sides of his mouth. His meddling in the Greek-Turkish conflict during 1922-23 led to the massacre at Smyrna. There was still conflict in Europe and the Middle East into the early 1920's.

If you've never seen it, try to find a video of the Monty Python game show spoof of the "All England Summarize Proust" competition. Classic!

Nice presentation. I just started vol 4. I learned a lot. Thanks.

WOUW, THE SOE DID ALSO BETRAY ABOUT 200 DUTCH RESISTANCE FIGHTERS TOO!!! JUST TO KEEP UP A SCAM GAME THEY PLAYED AGAINST GERMAN INTELLIGENCE!!! THEY KEPT ON PARACHUTING THOSE AGENTS INTO THE NETHERLANDS, WHILE THEY KNEW, THE GERMANS WERE WAITING FOR THEM!!!

Love her writing so much. Love listening/watching her interviews. Looking forward to her next novel.

During the war France was occupied by the nazis (after 100000 casulties in 1940); there was no possibility to oppose efficiently when you have the nazis in front of you, in France just like everywhere in occupied Europe and the german didn't impose to sign the armistice at the same place than the 1918 capitulation as a mark of respect for France ..... Antisemitism in France today has nothing to see with the past war but is the consequence of the muslim mass emigration brainwashed by saudi propaganda , but Saudi are the new good friends of USA or Israel so it's certainly more politicaly correct to spit on the frenchs....

"What would Proust say is the meaning of life?" The dumbest possible line of curiosity.

Too loud! 😫 why is she yelling?
