Ever been curious about all the fuss surrounding Proust's gargantuan novel, "Remembrance of Things Past", but felt unable to tackle it? This is a weekly livestream series designed to make Proust as accessible as possible. It provides a close analysis of "Rembrance of Things Past" also known as "In Search of Lost Time" discussing what makes it such a special piece of literature, how ahead of its time it was in terms of its psychological insight, and how reading it can provide a great immersive and relaxing experience - "textual healing" for the stresses of everyday life. This is the first of a new series of Livestreams in which Paul will be joined by Stuart Shaw & other future guests along the way for these regular sessions as we work our way through all 6 volumes of "Remembrance of Things Past" exploring Proust's complex portrayal of the philosophy of time. In this episode, after an initial chat about the importance of Proust as a writer, we start to go through the text systematically - the next session will start from where we left off the previous time. Each session will aim to take a relaxed and leisurely pace, so people should have no problems keeping up and joining in at later points in the series of videos. #Proust #remembranceofthingspast #bookclub #literaryanalysis #philosophyoftime
