About the book

*À la recherche du temps perdu* est un roman de Marcel Proust, écrit de 1906 à 1922 et publié de 1913 à 1927 en sept tomes, dont les trois derniers parurent après la mort de l’auteur. Plutôt que le récit d'une séquence déterminée d'événements, cette œuvre s'intéresse non pas aux souvenirs du narrateur mais à une réflexion psychologique sur la littérature, sur la mémoire et sur le temps. Cependant, comme le souligne Jean-Yves Tadié dans Proust et le roman, tous ces éléments épars se découvrent reliés les uns aux autres quand, à travers toutes ses expériences négatives ou positives, le narrateur (qui est aussi le héros du roman), découvre le sens de la vie dans l'art et la littérature au dernier tome. *À la recherche du temps* perdu est parfois considéré comme l'une des plus importantes œuvres littéraires de tous les temps.
