About the book

These first three volumes of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time introduce the narrator's childhood memories, social world and increasingly complex experiences of love, jealousy and ambition. The sequence begins with the famous evocation of memory triggered by the taste of a madeleine and gradually expands into a rich portrait of French society. Proust explores how perception and memory continually reshape the meaning of the past.
