Marcel Proust’s monumental work À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time) is one of the greatest achievements in world literature. Spanning seven parts and over three thousand pages, this introspective masterpiece explores memory, time, art, and the nature of love through the narrator’s recollections of French society at the turn of the 20th century.

In these three volumes from the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade edition, Proust’s luminous prose traces the transformation of experience into art — from the madeleine-dipped moment of Du côté de chez Swann to the revelations of Le Temps retrouvé. A profound meditation on the passage of time and the persistence of memory.
