Marcel Proust (1871–1922) was a French novelist whose masterpiece, 'À la recherche du temps perdu' (In Search of Lost Time), is considered one of the greatest works of modern literature. His writing is characterized by its profound exploration of memory, time, and the complexities of human consciousness. Proust's work often focuses on the nuances of social life in late 19th-century France and the subjective experience of perception.^[1,2]
