About this listen

 A BBC Radio six-part dramatisation of Marcel Proust's groundbreaking series of novels, tracing the extraordinary story of the author's own life. Starring James Wilby and Jonathan Firth, and with a distinguished cast including Harriet Walter, Imogen Stubbs, and Corin Redgrave, this rich, multi-layered adaptation brings out all the variety and subtlety of Proust's magnificent masterpiece.

Featuring a fictional version of himself - 'Marcel' - and a host of friends, acquaintances, and lovers, In Search of Lost Time is Proust's search for the key to the mysteries of memory, time, and consciousness. As he recalls his childhood days, the sad affair of Charles Swann and Odette de Crecy, his transition to manhood, the tortures of love and the ravages of war, he realises that the simplest of discoveries can lead to astonishing possibilities.

Brilliant performance moved me to tears at times

I have been meaning to read 'In Search of Lost Time' for ages and as with many readers, its sheer size put me off. This then is the perfect introduction to Proust. Weighing in a just over five hours it is a relative sprint compared to the full marathon. Yes, something will have been lost in the editing but on the other hand, much is gained in the dramatisation. Made a few car journeys much more enjoyable.

An enchanting journey into Proust's greatest work, with the BBC's typical attention to sound quality. A difficult work is made approachable and mesmerising. Recommended to be listened to in the highest quality possible. It's a little like falling into someone else's mind.

Any additional comments?

I have wanted to read Proust for a while now, but was always a little daunted so opted for this wonderful BBC production and loved it. I now feel ready to start all the seven original/unabridged novels. Highly recommended.

Wonderful

Some really powerful thoughts about self space and time...but would rather have a straight reading of the book

Just a pity it's dramatised.

What an amazing cast to dramatize these poingiant stories. So many people causing their own downfall, sad to listen to, but often true.

A wonderful dramatization

OUTSTANDING

A masterpiece of literature well worth a listen. Well produced and acted, beautifully narrated by actor James Wilby. Took me two listens to fully appreciate this as it is an unusual production, but glad I stuck with it. Made me want to look further into Proust.

Good Performance of Unusual Story

A beautiful production. Would serve equally well as an introductory overview or a poignant reminder.

Excellent
