Daca pasiunea se analizeaza si formeaza obiectul prozei psihologice, vanitatea se reflecta in gesturi si formeaza obiectul prozei comportiste. Camil Petrescu, atat de dator lui Proust in tezele lui despre roman, nu-i datoreaza mare lucru in romane ca atare. Patul lui Procust e romanul unor vanitati ranite.

Being very poor, he studied assiduously, worked to support himself, and relatively late—at the age of 29—he began his studies in philosophy at the University of Bucharest.
He marked the end of the traditional novel era and laid the foundation of the modern novel era. Petrescu went to primary school at Obor, and to high school at Saint Sava National College, where he wrote his very first poem. In 1916, Petrescu was drafted and sent to the battlefields of then raging World War I, where he was wounded and taken prisoner by the Austro-Hungarians.
Freed in 1918, he depicted his war experiences in his 1930 novel.
In 1933, Petrescu wrote the novel. He was a teacher in Timişoara, and director of the National Theater Bucharest.
