Classics Editorial Review
In Search of Lost Time is a complex historical novel that is as much an observational scientific work as it is artistic. It is an eyewitness account of people ranging from servants to royalty. The narrator has two modes, one where he narrates landscapes, people, and events with fine detail of settings, language, and behaviors, and the other being an analysis mode that goes deep into human culture, behavior, and even up to the big picture. The second mode can be complex and go on for many pages, but readers can choose what they are interested in. The book reflects on the past while also hinting at the future, giving readers a lot to think about. However, the narrator often declines to analyze himself, which some readers might find bewildering. There is a mix of brilliance and blindness in the book, which is not unusual in great narrative literature written by eyewitnesses. Despite its daunting complexity, the book is excellent for learning about French art and how an artist's mind works. Many readers find the long sentences and beautiful thoughts in the book magnificent. The book teaches the reader to appreciate the beauty of life, and how one can describe it in the form of art. Many reviewers are fans of Proust's obsession with quietness, how he created his little sanctum of peace and quiet by soundproofing his room, and his ability to hear his mind speak to him. The book is a great read, but readers must be willing to take their time with it.
