"An ambitious study, the fruit of sustained work over many years. Professor Carter's book deploys a stunning knowledge of Proust and places Carter among the first line of Proust scholars in the country." —Roger Shattuck,Boston University The Proustian Quest is the first full-length study that explores the influence of social change on Proust's vision. In Remembrance of Things Past, Proust describes how the machines of transportation and communication transformed fashion, social mores, time-space perception, and the understanding of the laws of nature. Concentrating on the motif of speed, Carter establishes the centrality of the modern world to the novel's main themes and produces a far- reaching synthesis that demonstrates the work's profound structural unity.

The story of the overcoat began with a chance meeting - between an obsessive book collector, Jacques Gurin, and his physician, Dr Robert Proust, brother of the late writer. Gurin immediately glimpsed the possibility of acquiring the novelist's personal effects, but it would be decades before he finally came to possess the relic he had most coveted: Proust's moth-eaten otter-lined overcoat...

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the intricate corridors of memory and the labyrinthine depths of the human soul with Marcel Proust's magnum opus, In Search of Lost Time. Across seven monumental volumes, Proust intricately weaves a narrative tapestry that spans the realms of memory, desire, and the inexorable passage of time. At the heart of this extraordinary work lies the enigmatic narrator, who embarks on a quest to reconcile the fragments of his past with the realities of his present. Set against the backdrop of belle époque France, Proust's prose transports readers into the hallowed halls of French high society, where glittering soirées and elegant salons serve as the stage for intricate social dramas and clandestine affairs. Yet, beneath the veneer of opulence lies a world fraught with longing and disillusionment, where the pursuit of pleasure often leads to profound existential questioning. Through the narrator's keen observations and introspective musings, Proust delves deep into the recesses of human experience, illuminating the complexities of memory, perception, and identity. From the evocative scent of a madeleine dipped in tea to the fleeting glimpse of a loved one's face, each moment serves as a portal to the past, unlocking a floodgate of emotions and associations that blur the boundaries between reality and reverie. As the narrator navigates the intricacies of his own memories, he encounters a cast of unforgettable characters who populate his world with their quirks, eccentricities, and hidden desires. From the enigmatic Swann and the captivating Odette to the charismatic Baron de Charlus, each figure leaves an indelible mark on the narrator's psyche, shaping his understanding of love, friendship, and the elusive nature of human connection. In Search of Lost Time is a literary odyssey unlike any other, a sprawling epic that invites readers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Proust's imagination. With its lush prose, intricate plotting, and profound insights into the human condition, this timeless masterpiece continues to captivate and enthrall readers across the globe, cementing its status as one of the greatest achievements of modern literature. Rich in detail and teeming with life, Proust's masterpiece stands as a testament to the enduring power of literature to illuminate the mysteries of existence and the eternal quest for meaning in an ever-changing world. This edition includes the entire work in one volume, complete and unabridged. It is newly typeset for easy reading and printed on acid-free, archival quality paper for durability and long use.

With an introduction by comedian and novelist David Baddiel A novel in seven volumes, Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time is considered a major literary work of the twentieth century. And even more crucially, one that you should have read by now. However, as one of its most distinguishing features is its staggering length, many of us feel intimidated and perhaps, even, fatigued at the thought of diving in. Alain de Botton’s hilarious and unexpected Proustian manual, is then, the perfect antidote to this problem. In How Proust Can Change Your Life, de Botton masterfully distils what Proust says about friendship, reading, being alive and taking your time, and mixes it with his own, no less nourishing commentary. As de Botton rereads Proust for our collective benefit, we see the continued relevance of his work and the rich and varied insights he can offer us, from how to reinvigorate your relationship to being a good host. This is Proust as you’ve never seen him before. He may even change your life.
