“Remembrance of Things Past” by Marcel Proust is a mesmerizing journey through the corridors of memory and time. Proust’s intricate prose captures the essence of fleeting moments, transporting readers to the salons and streets of late 19th and early 20th century France. As I delved into the narrator’s reflections on love, art, and society, I found myself lost in the delicate interplay of past and present. It’s a literary masterpiece that lingers long after the final page.
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
