Marcel Proust - A la recherche du temps perdu - 1969

Superb two-volume set in its handsome publisher’s binding according to the Mario Prassinos model, one of the major works of 20th-century French literature, in which the author undertakes a wide-ranging exploration of memory, time, love, art, society, and human consciousness -

Through the narrator’s journey, who shares many traits with Proust without blending completely with him, the novel traces a life marked by childhood memories, worldly experiences, romantic passions, emotional disappointments, psychological observations, and the gradual discovery of an artistic vocation -

The work opens with the famous evocations of childhood in Combray, a small town where the narrator recalls Sundays, strolls, landscapes, the family house, the figures of his loved ones and above all the founder episode of the madeleine dipped in tea, which triggers the involuntary emergence of a forgotten memory and reveals the mysterious power of affective memory -
