Proust is one of the greatest literary masters of the twentieth century. "In Search of Lost Time" is a voluminous volume and is one of the most famous and difficult works in the entire history of literature. The whole book takes the narrator "I" as the main body and integrates what he sees, hears, thinks and feels. It is not only a true description of social life and human relations, but also a record of the author's inner experience of self-pursuit and self-understanding. It can be said to be a novel tree with many branches derived from the trunk of a novel, or it can be said to be a giant symphony intertwined with several themes. This book basically retains the essence of the seven-volume book. The selected chapters or paragraphs are complete without any deletions. You can appreciate the elegance of this magnificent work in one volume, and it can be called a true "essence".
Reader comments
I really don't recommend reading it to those who are not particularly patient and literary-literate... A masterpiece of stream of consciousness can easily feel cumbersome and incomprehensible. It is difficult to persist in reading it, and it may not be very rewarding after reading it. (Maybe it is because I am not patient enough and have insufficient comprehension ability. After reading it halfway, I felt that the reward was not much, so I didn't persist in reading it...)
The beauty of loneliness is difficult to discover, but the complex writing techniques and complicated characters are really difficult to understand. It has aesthetics and art, but few people can calm down and read it carefully.
Literature can be very descriptive or very small, very condensed or very detailed.
This is beauty! A masterpiece is a masterpiece!
5 In other books may only be 5, but this book is only 5 at the highest level.
A piece of cake made "me" fall into memories and recalled more than 2,000 pages
I'm reading "In Search of Lost Time" and it's very masochistic. I switched to listening to books while taking a walk, but still half-listening [face covering]... "Let him be strong, and the breeze will pass over the hills." Well, that's the feeling 😐. I'm going to listen to it like this and see if I can listen to it and like it in the end.
I really can't give stars, so I suggest you set the app to not give stars for reviews.
Five stars is a tribute to someone who can actually write something like this.
This book is like a gorgeous puzzle, each piece shines with a unique light. The author interweaves memories and reality with delicate brushstrokes, making me feel the flow of time and the beauty of life. There is a sentence in the book that particularly touched me: "When the years pass and everything disappears, only the smell floating in the air lingers, making the past vivid in my mind." This sentence really exquisitely depicts the power of memories!
Not bad! The relationships between characters can be clarified
I can't understand it at all, but I'll still give it five stars.
The writing is delicate, using seemingly small things to piece together the originally scattered memories bit by bit. The characters are full-bodied and not obtrusive.
