In Guermantes

French writer Marcel Proust, one of the pioneers of literary modernism, described the psychological changes of the human "I" with the passage of time. He is joined in his work present and past events into a single coherent picture. Seven-volume epic "In Search of Lost Time" - the main work of Proust, on which he worked for 14 years. The writer set himself a challenge - to "translate" the book of the human soul in the common language, he laid the foundation for a new type of novel - the novel "stream of consciousness."
