Must- Read! Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust


The most prominent work of Marcel Proust is "In Search of Lost Time" who had been previously translated "Remembrance of Things Past" by C.K. Scott Moncrieff and was later translated into the more literal rendering of the French title "In Search of Lost Time" by D. J. Enright.
Said to be the "greatest novel" of all times.
This masterpiece explores the themes of time, space and memory.

Thoughts on Sleep


"As the hours, the days, the weeks, the seasons slip by, you detach yourself from everything. You discover, with something that sometimes almost resembles exhilaration, that you are free. That nothing is weighing you down, nothing pleases or displeases you. You find, in this life exempt from wear and tear and with no thrill in it other than these suspended moments, in almost perfect happiness, fascinating, occasionally swollen by new emotions. You are living in a blessed parenthesis, in a vacuum full of promise, and from which you expect nothing. You are invisible, limpid, transparent. You no longer exist. Across the passing hours, the succession of days, the procession of the seasons, the flow of time, you survive without joy and without sadness. Without a future and without a past. Just like that: simply, self evidently, like a drop of water forming on a drinking tap on a landing."
— Georges Perec (Things: A Story of the Sixties; A Man Asleep)
