About the book

These later volumes continue Marcel Proust's great exploration of memory, desire, society and artistic creation. The narrator's relationships become increasingly complicated by jealousy, loss and the passing of time, while the social world around him undergoes profound change. The sequence ultimately turns toward the discovery that memory and art can give structure and meaning to a life that otherwise seems to disappear into time.
