The reason Alan Rickman made the horrific mistakes he made.. was because he read Proust's "Le cote de Guermantes 1" in the original french.. a book that causes the reader to make serious, deadly, lethal, horrific mistakes...

Proust's "Le cote de Guermantes 1" in the original French is one of the most consummate, absolute portrayals of Victorian culture and society ever written.. a crowded room society.. a society without a room of one's own.. a society so stifling in its sense of feeling so, so wrong and misused.. and even sometimes exploited.. in a wrong way.. in the wrong sense...


Prous's "Le cote de Guermantes 2" in the original French should prove to be a much, much, much preferable book to read....
