In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!
Marcel Proust, born on July 10, 1871, in Neuilly-Auteuil-Passy, France, was a renowned French novelist, literary critic, and essayist. He is most famous for his monumental work la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time), a seven-volume novel published between 1913 and 1927, which remains one of the most influential works of 20th-century literature. Proust's writing is known for its deep psychological insight, complex narrative structure, and exploration of memory, time, and social dynamics. He was influenced by writers such as Gustave Flaubert and Honor de Balzac. Throughout his life, Proust struggled with health issues, including asthma, which deeply affected his lifestyle and writing process. He passed away on November 18, 1922, in Paris at the age of 51. Proust's works have left a lasting impact on both literature and philosophy. He was the son of Jeanne Weill Proust and Achille Adrien Proust and had a brother named Robert Proust.
