Marcel Proust's (1871-1922) novel In Search of Lost Time has been an unrelenting challenge to readers around the world since its publication in 1910-1920s. What is it: an immense book-collection in the tradition of the great novels of the 19th century, a panorama of the refined culture of Europe at the "end of a beautiful era" swept away by the world wars, an experience of philosophical reflection on memory through literature, an attempt by the author to understand himself, his reflection on what it means to write a book and how to decide to do so, or, finally, an invitation to the reader to understand what it means to truly read a book? All this together and much more, as nine readers of Proust - literary scholars, philosophers, art historians - ponder from different angles. And, of course, the Quest is a challenge to the translator, which in this book Elena Baevskaya takes on, opening up a fragmentary yet unified view of the corpus of texts by the eminent French writer.
