This early 20th-century work is his most prominent, known both for its length and its theme of involuntary memory. The most famous example of this is the "episode of the madeleine", which occurs early in the first volume. The novel gained fame in English translation by C. K. Scott Moncrieff as "Remembrance of Things Past", but the title "In Search of Lost Time", a literal rendering of the French, became ascendant after D. J. Enright adopted it for his revised translation published in 1992. "In Search of Lost Time" follows the narrator's recollections of childhood and experiences into adulthood in the late 19th-century and early 20th-century high-society France, while reflecting on the loss of time and lack of meaning in the world. The novel began to take shape in 1909. Proust continued to work on it until his final illness in the autumn of 1922 forced him to break off. Proust established the structure early on, but even after volumes were initially finished, he continued to add new material and edited one volume after another for publication. The last three of the seven volumes contain oversights and fragmentary or unpolished passages, as they existed only in draft form at the death of the author; the publication of these parts was overseen by his brother Robert.' (Wiki) ***Marcel Proust was best known for this 3200 page masterpiece, originally published as "A La Recherche du Temps Perdu", and first translated into English by C.K. Scott Moncrieff as "Remembrance of Things Past" - later revised in translation to "In Search of Lost Time". Semi-autobiographical, and written in a stream-of-consciousness style, W. Somerset Maugham called it "the greatest fiction to date". ***A complete set of the first edition in English of "Cities of the Plain", published in eleven volumes - all first impressions apart from "Cities of the Plain".
