In Search of Lost Time is a novel in seven volumes. The novel began to take shape in 1909. Proust continued to work on it until his final illness in the autumn of 1922 forced him to break off. Proust established the structure early on, but even after volumes were initially finished he kept adding new material, and edited one volume after another for publication. The last three of the seven volumes contain oversights and fragmentary or unpolished passages as they existed in draft form at the death of the author; the publication of these parts was overseen by his brother Robert.

In "The Prisoner," the fifth volume of Marcel Prousts monumental work, "In Search of Lost Time," the author deftly explores themes of love, jealousy, and the complexities of human relationships. Written in Prousts signature style, the narrative is rich in introspective observations and intricate psychological insights, allowing the reader to traverse the labyrinth of the protagonists mind. Prousts exploration of time and memory reaches new depths as he delves into the effects of obsession and possessiveness, particularly in the relationship between Marcel and Albertine, revealing the intricate interplay between desire and despair in the pursuit of love. Marcel Proust, a French novelist and essayist, was deeply influenced by his own experiences with love and friendship, as well as his struggles with societal expectations. Born into a wealthy Parisian family, he often found himself at odds with the rigid structures of his class, which informed much of his writing. Prousts experiences of longing and existential contemplation led him to create a narrative world that reflects the emotional depth and nuance of human connections, illustrating the blend of temporal fluidity and desire. "The Prisoner" is a remarkable journey through the human psyche, beautifully capturing the inflections of passion and the pain of attachment. A must-read for anyone interested in the subtleties of relationships and the philosophies of memory, this book encourages readers to reflect on their own experiences, making it an essential addition to the canon of modern literature.

In The Captive, Prousts narrator describes living in his mothers Paris apartment with his lover, Albertine, and subsequently falling out of love with her.

In "Swanns Way," the first volume of Marcel Prousts monumental novel sequence "In Search of Lost Time," readers are invited into a labyrinthine exploration of memory, time, and the intricacies of human experience. Proust employs a distinctive literary style marked by long, flowing sentences and a deep introspective narrative voice that captures the fluidity of thought and the nuances of emotions. The novel intricately weaves together themes of love, jealousy, and the quest for artistic expression while delving into the ephemerality of life, all set against a backdrop of French aristocracy in the late 19th century. Prousts innovative approach to narrative structure and stream-of-consciousness technique position this work as a pivotal moment in modernist literature, reflecting a departure from traditional storytelling methods. Marcel Proust was a French writer whose own experiences with art, society, and longing profoundly influenced his literary creations. Living in a milieu of intellectualism and cultural vibrancy, Proust faced personal challenges, including his struggle with health issues and complex relationships. His keen observations of Parisian society and introspective nature compelled him to delve deeply into the human psyche, resulting in a work that resonates with existential inquiry and personal nostalgia. "Swanns Way" is an essential read for anyone interested in the depths of human emotion and the interplay of past and present. Prousts rich prose and profound insights invite readers to reflect on their own experiences of love, loss, and the relentless passage of time. This novel is not only a cornerstone of world literature but also a lens through which one can examine the beauty and complexity of our shared humanity.

¿Entonces, qué? ¿Este libro no era más que eso? Esos seres a los que yo había dado más atención y ternura que a las personas reales, sin osar confesar hasta qué punto los amaba (…); esas personas por

Je pouvais, mettre ma main dans sa main, sur son épaule, sur sa joue, Albertine continuait de dormir. Je pouvais prendre sa tête, la renverser, la poser contre mes lèvres, entourer mon cou de ses bras, elle continuait à dormir comme une montre qui ne s'arrête pas, comme une bête qui continue de vivre quelque position qu'on lui donne, comme une plante grimpante, un volubilis qui continue de pousser ses branches quelque appui qu'on lui donne. Seul son souffle était modifié par chacun de mes attouchements, comme si elle eût été un instrument dont j'eusse joué et à qui je faisais exécuter des modulations en tirant de l'une puis de l'autre de ses cordes, des notes différentes.
