Beschreibung
A new complete edition of a seminal work of world literature. The seven-part novel In Search of Lost Time, considered one of the foundational works not only of French but also of world literature, was created between 1909 and 1922 and was published gradually from 1913 to 1927. Proust's novel takes place in the milieu of French high society at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. While it can be said that it provides the most complete "portrait of manners" of its time after Balzac's Human Comedy, it is also true that the author aims for much more than a realistic depiction of society: the main themes of his work are time, memory, art, and knowledge. The main "hero" of this river-novel, or rather cathedral-novel, which spans 3,120 pages and features more than 200 characters, is human consciousness. The volumes include: The World of Swann (388 pages), In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower (480 pages), The World of the Guermantes (600 pages), Sodom and Gomorrah (528 pages), The Captive (412 pages), The Fugitive (288 pages), Time Regained (424 pages).
