Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust (born 10 July 1871, died 18 November 1922) was a French writer, famous for one work, the largely autobiographical novel In Search of Lost Time, which runs to over 3000 pages.
The French original À la recherche du temps perdu was published over a number of years (1913-27) in seven volumes. It was soon translated into English by C. K. Scott Moncrieff under the title Remembrance of Things Past and became, as Cyril Connolly remarked, almost a work of English literature itself. A new English version, a reworking of Moncrieff's by Terence Kilmartin, was published in 1981.
