Rent Time Regained: In Search of Lost Time, Vol. VI

Synopsis

TIME REGAINED, the final volume of Proust’s great work, covers the years of World War I and its aftermath. Marcel returns to Paris, sees many of the people he once knew (now grown old and grotesque), and finds that the thrice-married Mme. Verdurin has become the Princesse de Guermantes. He also meets Gilberte’s daughter, Mlle. De Saint-Loup, who represents the fusion of the two "ways' of his childhood. Most importantly, after reflecting on time and art, he resolves to write the book that will provide his own response to both--using his own life as his subject matter.
