Book Description
In Search of Proust, with linking commentary, is a selection of excerpts from the English translation of 'A la Recherche du Temps Perdu' / 'In Search of Lost Time' by Marcel Proust (1871 - 1922), organised under the following theme headings: 1) Four Incidents; 2) The Living Scene; 3) Characters and Figures; 4) Behaviour - of others and Marcel's own: 5) Memory and the Passing of Time; 6) The Arts and their Creators. For those who may have given up on reading this novel, or hesitated to embark at all, discouraged by its length, this selection introduces readers to the range, insight and vitality of Proust's work. 'In Search of Lost Time' follows the narrator's recollections of his past during the late 19th to early 20th century aristocratic France, while reflecting on lost time and questioning the meaning of life. Proust continued to work on refining this novel over a period of some fifteen years until his final illness in the autumn of 1922 forced him to stop. His literary masterpiece, which is both captivating and extraordinary, is undoubtedly one of the most respected novels of the twentieth-century.

Book Description
In Search of Lost Time (French: À la recherche du temps perdu)— previously also translated as Remembrance of Things Past, is a novel in seven volumes, written by Marcel Proust (1871–1922). It is considered to be his most prominent work, known both for its length and its theme of involuntary memory, the most famous example being the "episode of the madeleine" which occurs early in the first volume. It gained fame in English in translations by C. K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin as Remembrance of Things Past, but the title In Search of Lost Time, a literal rendering of the French, has gained usage since D. J. Enright adopted it for his revised translation published in 1992. The novel began to take shape in 1909. Proust continued to work on it until his final illness in the autumn of 1922 forced him to break off. Proust established the structure early on, but even after volumes were initially finished he kept adding new material and edited one volume after another for publication. The last three of the seven volumes contain oversights and fragmentary or unpolished passages, as they existed only in draft form at the death of the author; the publication of these parts was overseen by his brother Robert.

Proust is the twentieth century's Dante, presenting us with a unique, unsettling picture of ourselves as jealous lovers and unmitigated snobs, frittering our lives away, with only the hope of art as a possible salvation.
