This collection of short stories by Marcel Proust (1871-1922), one of the key figures in the literature of the XX century, is published in Russian for the first time. Here are unique texts of their kind - they reveal a completely different, unfamiliar and previously unknown to the reader Proust.In the late 90s of the XIX century, this classic of world literature, and then still a novice writer, writes short texts in which he not only tries to get used to the peculiarities of his sexual behavior, perceiving it as a pathology, but also develops many themes of the novel, which is one of the most important books of the XX century-the epic ' In search of lost time'.This rare body of fiction, discovered in the archives of Luc Frass - one of the most authoritative researchers of Proust's work - was to be included in the first book of the writer, the collection "Joys and Days" (1896). But it was postponed by the author, apparently, because of the excessive intimacy of the novels.
