About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 99 full-page plates by Piet Mondrian, Claude Monet and Édouard Manet. A man tastes a madeleine soaked in tea and the whole of his childhood returns unbidden — the most famous few pages in modern fiction open a novel that is, in fact, about how little we control what we remember.

Ninety-nine plates by Monet, Morisot and their contemporaries, from garden benches to children in Argenteuil, gather the leisure and light of Proust's world around his text.
