About this book

Alain de Botton approaches Marcel Proust not as a remote literary monument but as a perceptive companion to everyday living. Combining biography, literary criticism and an unconventional self-help format, he considers what Proust's life and writing suggest about love, friendship, suffering, habit, art and paying attention. The result is an accessible introduction to Proust's world and an invitation to read more thoughtfully and notice more of one's own life.
