“Thanks to art, instead of seeing one world only, our own, we see that world multiply itself and we have at our disposal as many worlds as there are original artists, worlds more different one from the other than those which revolve in infinite space, worlds which, centuries after the extinction of the fire from which their light first emanated, whether it is called Rembrandt or Vermeer, send us still each one its special radiance.”
Quote by Marcel Proust
Work
In Search of Lost Time: Time regained. VI
This volume represents the concluding section of Marcel Proust's monumental literary work, originally titled "Le Temps Retrouvé" in French. The novel as a whole is widely recognized as one of the most significant achievements in modernist literature, notable for its innovative narrative approach and deep exploration of involuntary memory, the subjective experience of time, and the inner workings of consciousness. This final volume brings the narrator's extended meditation on memory and temporality to its philosophical resolution, offering contemplative reflections on how past moments can be unexpectedly recaptured through sensory experience. more
