Prousts work may sometimes offer a picture of intellectual confidence. But not enough had previously been said about the crisis of hypersensitivity in many of Prousts characters. This 1983 book attempted to fill that gap, and as such should interest all students of Proust. In A la recherche, Proust deliberates on the separation between the troubled artist and the simple, sometimes primitive sensibility of others. It is a separation that many critics have viewed as inevitable. In this book, however, Dr Hughes shows that Proust is constantly exploring the divide, and finally succeeds in harmonising simplicity and complexity in the unlikely form of music. In this way, several areas of Prousts novel are brought into prominence that would usually have been ignored for example, his nostalgic depictions of animal life. This book provides a synthesis of these and related experiences: as such it offers a reappraisal of Prousts view of human awareness.

I really wanted to love this book, but Proust's writing style can be quite tedious. While the themes are intriguing, I found myself losing patience with some passages. Maybe it’s just not the right fit for me, but I appreciate the effort behind it.

An intricate masterpiece
This book is a gem for anyone who loves philosophical literature. Proust's study on awareness captures so many layers of human experience. It’s a bit of a challenge, but I found it rewarding to decipher his thoughts. Perfect for book clubs!

A thought-provoking read
Marcel Proust's insights into consciousness are both profound and beautifully written. The way he explores the nuances of awareness really made me reflect on my own experiences. It’s a dense book, but worth the time if you're interested in deep philosophical explorations.

Not for everyone, but intriguing
I picked this up hoping for more straightforward insights, but it turned out to be quite the complex read. Proust's style is unique, and while I found some parts fascinating, others felt a bit drawn out. If you enjoy deep dives into the mind, give it a shot!

A deep dive into self-awareness
I'm so glad I finally read this! Proust's explorations into the quality of awareness opened my eyes to so many new perspectives. It’s a bit of a heavy read, but if you take your time with it, you’ll discover some real treasures within the pages.
