Proust helps us apprehend the profoundness of everyday life. When we are reading Proust, we look at everything in our world with a bit of added wonder.

The three volumes of Remembrance of Things Past are a poetic prose journey, where words take you to a near trance-like relationship with the experiences depicted. Magical.
