Vivek’s Notes

"À la recherche du temps perdu" has been translated into English under several titles, including "In Search of Lost Time" and "Remembrance of Things Past". Proust was still working on this seven-volume epic when he died in 1922, following three years spent in the confines of his bedroom.
