Everything in Proust’s work seems to be marked by yesterday’s world, to use Stefan Zweig’s words. And yet, there is a kind of eternal youthfulness in his masterful oeuvre À la Recherche du temps perdu, which is the hallmark of great works. What is the reason for this, a century after its publication? What does this voice of yesterday tell us in today’s world?

Two distinguished Proust experts, Antoine Compagnon and Christopher Prendergast discuss these matters with Louise Ferris.
