«El escándalo Lemoine» is the short novel by Marcel Proust, published by Ático de los Libros in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
The book recounts the true story of Henri Lemoine, a swindler who convinced half of Europe that he could make diamonds from coal and caused a crash on the Paris stock exchange. Proust turns the case into a series of tales in which he imitates the style of celebrated French authors such as Flaubert, Balzac or Saint-Simon, turning the fraud into an exercise in literary satire and an ironic portrait of the high society of his time.
The work belongs to the Breves del Ático collection, of which it is number 3, and includes a translation by Laura Naranjo and Carmen Torres.
Suitable for readers interested in French literature, social satire and recovered classics in carefully produced editions.
