The Remembrance of Times Past (Squashed Edition)

by Marcel Proust

Book Overview

The Squashed edition of The Remembrance of Times Past (A la recherche du temps perdu / In Search of Lost Time) by Marcel Proust. Abridged from the original text to read in an hour or so. Squashed editions are precise abridgements - the original ideas, in their own words, the full beam of the book, the quotable quotes and all the famous lines, but neatly honed down to the length of a readable short story. "Like reading the bible without all the begats"...

Good value for money

Very good binding and printing. I am also quite impressed with the delivery service. I do enjoy my purchasing this book.

If you want to know time.

I have always been interested in time; whatever that is.My first attempt(circa 1964) to understand time consisted of reading some very elementary texts on Einstein's theory of relativity. As I was romping through Einstein, a good friend introduced me to Proust's monumental work: A la recherche du temps perdu. I read and read and read and soon came to the conclusion that Proust had captured the very essence of psychological time. And the prose; so beautiful. Since that long ago time, I have read the thoughts of so many others on time: Faulkner, Mann, Kant, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Levinas, and most recently Hawking. The conclusion that I have come to is that if you really want to know TIME, then buy an inexpensive copy of Proust's great work and read, read, and read. Remember, you will ceratinly need much time. To the couple in Northern Germany; I resided in Bad Kreuznach, Germany for 8 months and it always made me think of Proust. I would welcome a comment from Northern Germany. Mead Whorton in The U.S.A.
