Time Regained
by Marcel Proust
The last volume of the book "In Search of Lost Time" tells the story of the years of the First World War, when Paris threatened to become another Pompeii, as M. de Charles reflected in a month-long walk. Years later, after the end of the war, the narrator Proust returned to Paris, where M. Verduren was the princess de Hermanes. He reflects on time, reality, jealousy, artistic creativity, and the raw materials of literature – his past life.
