Celebrated as the greatest novel of the twentieth century, it offers a profound exploration of art, love, time, and memory, making it an essential addition to any discerning reader’s collection. ## Description Generally agreed to be the greatest novel of the twentieth century – and possibly any other – Proust’s masterpiece is here presented in the latest revision to the classic Scott Moncrieff translation. On the surface a traditional Bildungsroman describing the narrator’s journey of self-discovery, this huge and complex book is also a panoramic and richly comic portrait of France in the author’s lifetime, and a profound meditation on the nature of art, love, time, memory and death. But for most readers it is the characters of the novel who loom the largest: Swann and Odette, Monsieur de Charlus, Morel, the Duchesse de Guermantes, Françoise, Saint-Loup and so many others – Giants, as the author calls them, immersed in Time.

Makes it difficult to read in not so good lighting. As for the content I am sure it is worth the money. ## Frequently Bought Together - In Search Of Lost Time Boxed Set (4 Volumes) (Everyman's Library) - Paintings in Proust: A Visual Companion to In Search of Lost Time - Marcel Proust's Search for Lost Time: A Reader's Guide to The Remembrance of Things Past --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/98209640-in-search-of-lost-time-boxed-set-4-volumes-marcel](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/98209640-in-search-of-lost-time-boxed-set-4-volumes-marcel) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
