Some works are not meant to be rushed, summarized, or even fully explained. Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time is one of them. Spanning seven volumes and thousands of pages, it is not a book you conquer, but one you live with—a world of memory, longing, and time itself unfolding like a madeleine dipped in tea.

In this episode, we explore what it means to encounter Proust on your own terms. We reflect on memory as time travel, on the way ordinary moments contain eternity, and on how literature teaches us to pause, to notice, and to truly live. Rather than offering a complete map of Proust’s labyrinth, we offer a candle in the corridors—a reminder that the journey itself is the meaning.

If you choose to enter Proust’s world, it will change not only how you read, but how you see your own life. And that is where hope lies: in discovering that time lost is never fully gone, only waiting to be remembered.
