Pleasures and Days

This audiobook features Marcel Proust’s early collection, Pleasures and Days, a richly illustrated compilation of stories, sketches, and poetry that explores themes of memory, desire, and the passage of time. Originally published in 1896, it offers a glimpse into Proust’s developing voice through a diverse array of narratives, satirical portraits, and poetic reflections. Presented here in a complete translation with Anatole France’s preface, this work serves as a fascinating companion to Proust’s later masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time.
