Published in 1927, "Time Regained" is the seventh and final volume of Marcel Proust’s monumental novel "In Search of Lost Time", and follows the narrator as he reaches the threshold of old age and sees how the people around him, as well as society itself, have changed with the passage of time. It is also in this volume that he discovers his literary vocation, discusses the nature of true literature and the role of the artist at length, and grasps the power of involuntary memory to evoke experiences that were buried deep within us, bringing the famous madeleine episode from "Swann’s Way" full circle.
"In Search of Lost Time" is composed by seven magnificent volumes:
- Volume One: "Swann's Way"
- Volume Two: "In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower"
