Time Regained: Chapter One

Track length4:42
$1.00
$1.30

Robert came several times to Tansonville while I was there.

Track length5:55
$1.00
$1.30

Francoise, who had already seen…

Track length5:46
$1.00
$1.30

One day when Robert was due to come to Tansonville…

Track length5:22
$1.00
$1.30

As for that love he kept talking to me about…

Track length4:13
$1.00
$1.30

Once Robert had gone off again…

Track length5:26
$1.00
$1.30

It occurred to me that it was because Robert had…

Track length6:11
$1.00
$1.30

'The day before yesterday…'

Track length5:46
$1.00
$1.30

'You Westerners find that impossible to understand…'

Track length4:58
$1.00
$1.30

When I spoke to Verdurin of the subtle pleasure…

Track length5:46
$1.00
$1.30

'Yes, I give you my word…'

Track length4:39
$1.00
$1.30

Hearing this, Doctor Cottard…

Track length3:39
$1.00
$1.30

I stopped there…

Track length5:40
$1.00
$1.30

The result of this was…

Track length4:29
$1.00
$1.30

Thus it was that the Goncourts' journal had revealed to me…

Track length4:47
$1.00
$1.30

I had realised earlier that it is not the most witty…

Track length5:25
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter Two

Track length4:26
$1.00
$1.30

'The sadness of the present moment, it is true…'

Track length5:00
$1.00
$1.30

Saint-Euverte's salon had a faded image…

Track length6:16
$1.00
$1.30

M. Bontemps would not hear of peace…

Track length5:38
$1.00
$1.30

Now Morel ought not to have been there…

Track length4:53
$1.00
$1.30

These words, which would have injured…

Track length6:42
$1.00
$1.30

Before the time when the afternoon teas came to an end…

Track length5:16
$1.00
$1.30

The silhouettes of the trees were reflected sharply…

Track length4:58
$1.00
$1.30

'Have you heard,' he asked me as he left…

Track length6:11
$1.00
$1.30

Bloch left us at the door of his house…

Track length5:31
$1.00
$1.30

Robert (who at the time seemed to me much more a Saint-Loup…)

Track length5:50
$1.00
$1.30

No doubt the boy was fed up with going up…

Track length5:49
$1.00
$1.30

One might have thought that I was the only person…

Track length6:04
$1.00
$1.30

Whether the German staff officers had indeed behaved well…

Track length5:47
$1.00
$1.30

It was no good the general telling the man…

Track length4:51
$1.00
$1.30

'In a word, Gilberte now believed…'

Track length4:12
$1.00
$1.30

When Saint-Loup had come into my room…

Track length5:39
$1.00
$1.30

In certain respects the comparison was not a false one.

Track length6:03
$1.00
$1.30

Later he was to say to me…

Track length7:03
$2.00
$2.60

While recalling Saint-Loup's visit…

Track length4:54
$1.00
$1.30

One might say that in his case…

Track length6:10
$1.00
$1.30

And thinking probably…

Track length5:08
$1.00
$1.30

Thus it was that when seeking to hurt the baron…

Track length6:31
$1.00
$1.30

However, even if M. de Charlus and Mme. Verdurin…

Track length6:05
$1.00
$1.30

However, just as there are animals' bodies and human bodies…

Track length6:14
$1.00
$1.30

M. de Charlus went further…

Track length7:14
$2.00
$2.60

For M. de Charlus, therefore…

Track length5:00
$1.00
$1.30

The war was going on for ever…

Track length6:35
$1.00
$1.30

'It's a strange thing too,' M. de Charlus added…

Track length5:27
$1.00
$1.30

The Duc de Guermantes' opinions had quickly changed.

Track length5:11
$1.00
$1.30

It's quite obvious that those peoples…

Track length4:11
$1.00
$1.30

And since M. de Charlus began to be extraordinarily childish…

Track length6:44
$1.00
$1.30

M. de Charlus was right about that.

Track length6:05
$1.00
$1.30

So it was that journalism…

Track length4:43
$1.00
$1.30

Her fury with Brichot increased all the more…

Track length4:33
$1.00
$1.30

'I don't know, old chap,' M. de Charlus went on…

Track length7:07
$2.00
$2.60

'The symbol of it,' I replied.

Track length5:21
$1.00
$1.30

I would be very surprised…

Track length6:34
$1.00
$1.30

'You must admit that would be very funny,' he said.

Track length4:46
$1.00
$1.30

What is more, M. de Charlus literally did not know which way to turn…

Track length5:49
$1.00
$1.30

The night was just as lovely as it had been in 1914…

Track length5:52
$1.00
$1.30

At this point the violinist…

Track length5:52
$1.00
$1.30

I then understood Morel's fear.

Track length4:05
$1.00
$1.30

'I admire all the heroes in this war,' he said.

Track length5:06
$1.00
$1.30

It was a transparent night…

Track length4:51
$1.00
$1.30

Something did strike me, though…

Track length5:10
$1.00
$1.30

'It's amazing the boss isn't back…'

Track length5:58
$1.00
$1.30

The oldest member of the group…

Track length5:19
$1.00
$1.30

All at once the door opened and someone entered…

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

The baron even felt slightly resentful towards Jupien…

Track length4:57
$1.00
$1.30

A relationship with a woman one loves…

Track length5:52
$1.00
$1.30

I made my way downstairs…

Track length5:30
$1.00
$1.30

However, it was no good his suggesting…

Track length4:48
$1.00
$1.30

He anyway had no other room to offer me.

Track length5:36
$1.00
$1.30

'I don't doubt for a single moment…'

Track length4:27
$1.00
$1.30

It was no good the young man…

Track length4:50
$1.00
$1.30

'Apparently he's got a million francs a day to burn through.'

Track length6:04
$1.00
$1.30

'The main reason I did that,' added Jupien…

Track length5:48
$1.00
$1.30

Jupien appeared to be very troubled by what I had said…

Track length6:13
$1.00
$1.30

The moment the alarm had sounded…

Track length5:16
$1.00
$1.30

Nonetheless the darkness went on…

Track length5:43
$1.00
$1.30

As for M. de Charlus…

Track length5:26
$1.00
$1.30

Now, aberrations are like love affairs…

Track length5:24
$1.00
$1.30

I advised Francoise and the butler to go and get some sleep.

Track length6:44
$1.00
$1.30

Francoise was all the more troubled by these remarks…

Track length5:28
$1.00
$1.30

Every morning at six o'clock…

Track length4:20
$1.00
$1.30

I recalled his arrival that first time at Balbec…

Track length4:57
$1.00
$1.30

Francoise received the news…

Track length6:29
$1.00
$1.30

He must have been really magnificent in those final hours.

Track length5:33
$1.00
$1.30

If not through his death…

Track length6:17
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter Three

Track length4:38
$1.00
$1.30

My long absence from Paris…

Track length6:03
$1.00
$1.30

For me there was one good thing at least…

Track length5:02
$1.00
$1.30

The most moving thing, though…

Track length4:14
$1.00
$1.30

Mme. de Saint-Euverte's snobbery…

Track length5:52
$1.00
$1.30

At that moment the Duchesse de Letourville…

Track length6:08
$1.00
$1.30

I need not add…

Track length4:57
$1.00
$1.30

Turning the sad thoughts I was mentioning a moment ago…

Track length4:37
$1.00
$1.30

While asking myself this question…

Track length4:33
$1.00
$1.30

The piece of music being played…

Track length5:51
$1.00
$1.30

I glossed swiftly over all that…

Track length6:52
$1.00
$1.30

However, this optical illusion…

Track length6:28
$1.00
$1.30

This meant that the person within me…

Track length6:07
$1.00
$1.30

Impressions such as those I was trying to pin down…

Track length5:08
$1.00
$1.30

And even as I thought this…

Track length5:30
$1.00
$1.30

A slanting ray from the setting sun…

Track length6:48
$1.00
$1.30

'No more style,' people had said at the time,…

Track length5:24
$1.00
$1.30

Thus it was that for me that book…

Track length4:47
$1.00
$1.30

If I see a thing from another period…

Track length5:18
$1.00
$1.30

The library I would build up for myself in this way…

Track length5:42
$1.00
$1.30

An hour is not just an hour…

Track length6:40
$1.00
$1.30

Even when it comes to artistic joys…

Track length5:55
$1.00
$1.30

That group imagined that this was the criterion…

Track length5:41
$1.00
$1.30

How could descriptive literature possibly have any value…

Track length5:17
$1.00
$1.30

And it was certainly very tempting…

Track length5:54
$1.00
$1.30

As for the truths that the intellect…

Track length4:50
$1.00
$1.30

In this matter, the very comparisons which are false…

Track length3:30
$1.00
$1.30

It is not certain that imagination…

Track length5:04
$1.00
$1.30

Moreover, I felt infinite sympathy…

Track length5:36
$1.00
$1.30

From this first point of view…

Track length5:09
$1.00
$1.30

If we had no rivals, pleasure would not turn into love.

Track length5:25
$1.00
$1.30

Just as the painter needs to have seen many churches…

Track length5:39
$1.00
$1.30

I was perhaps wrong…

Track length5:15
$1.00
$1.30

A writer says 'my reader' …

Track length6:17
$1.00
$1.30

What made it possible that this perverse way of thinking…

Track length5:20
$1.00
$1.30

I had seen nobles become vulgar…

Track length6:29
$1.00
$1.30

Jealousy is a good recruiting sergeant…

Track length5:49
$1.00
$1.30

I was going to try to find the objective reason…

Track length6:18
$1.00
$1.30

Initially I could not understand…

Track length5:27
$1.00
$1.30

Even supposing that d'Argencourt had the same desire to smile…

Track length5:55
$1.00
$1.30

This was a puppet-show featuring dolls…

Track length4:45
$1.00
$1.30

As for the woman whose lover M. d'Argencourt had been…

Track length6:45
$1.00
$1.30

The letter from this friend I had dreamed of having…

Track length6:08
$1.00
$1.30

When somebody, hearing that I was unwell…

Track length5:27
$1.00
$1.30

In certain people the replacement of each cell by a series of others…

Track length5:41
$1.00
$1.30

There was no doubt that the cruel discovery I had just made…

Track length5:06
$1.00
$1.30

I asked M. de Cambremer how his mother was.

Track length6:49
$1.00
$1.30

In several people I ended up recognising not only their actual selves…

Track length6:19
$1.00
$1.30

Certain faces, beneath their hood of white hair…

Track length5:19
$1.00
$1.30

It was difficult to reconcile the two aspects…

Track length6:43
$1.00
$1.30

The women tried to stay in touch…

Track length5:32
$1.00
$1.30

The old men whose features had changed…

Track length5:40
$1.00
$1.30

Nonetheless it is necessary to make one reservation…

Track length6:33
$1.00
$1.30

Just as a candidate at the baccalaureat…

Track length5:31
$1.00
$1.30

Someone who had been a minister before the Boulangist period…

Track length4:54
$1.00
$1.30

Mme. de Forcheville's appearance was so miraculous…

Track length4:59
$1.00
$1.30

Mme. de Forcheville's eyes, which were still very lovely…

Track length6:02
$1.00
$1.30

'You may be painting too rosy a picture of it all,' he said to me.

Track length5:40
$1.00
$1.30

On the other hand, it was possibly true…

Track length5:49
$1.00
$1.30

Certain foreigners who, when I had begun to move in society…

Track length5:49
$1.00
$1.30

During the war, Bloch had stopped 'going out'…

Track length6:52
$1.00
$1.30

In the end, after an elderly man…

Track length5:17
$1.00
$1.30

The woman who was a friend of Bloch…

Track length5:51
$1.00
$1.30

For the rest, one does have to say…

Track length5:16
$1.00
$1.30

It is true to say that having been impertinent…

Track length6:31
$1.00
$1.30

I must have so shocked men…

Track length5:11
$1.00
$1.30

There is no doubt that Bloch had formerly been…

Track length4:34
$1.00
$1.30

Not only do certain people have a good memory…

Track length5:24
$1.00
$1.30

It was not only the appearance of these individuals…

Track length5:44
$1.00
$1.30

Our parallel lives were like the edges…

Track length4:40
$1.00
$1.30

'What's the news of the Marquise d'Arpajon?'

Track length5:37
$1.00
$1.30

The spinster spotted that her mother…

Track length5:47
$1.00
$1.30

I had sat down beside Gilberte de Saint-Loup.

Track length5:46
$1.00
$1.30

'There is one aspect of war he was beginning to notice,' I said to her…

Track length5:36
$1.00
$1.30

'But how is it that you come to receptions…'

Track length5:25
$1.00
$1.30

And anyway, was it not in order to concern myself…

Track length5:54
$1.00
$1.30

As I looked at Gilberte I did not think…

Track length5:10
$1.00
$1.30

Now, the law that had governed the dreams of each year…

Track length6:10
$1.00
$1.30

The duchess was still hesitating…

Track length5:12
$1.00
$1.30

Now meanwhile, at the other end of Paris…

Track length5:14
$1.00
$1.30

Unfortunately these notes merely allowed her son-in-law…

Track length5:38
$1.00
$1.30

Berma uttered not a word of reproach…

Track length4:29
$1.00
$1.30

All the guests looked at one another…

Track length5:04
$1.00
$1.30

While this woman reciting La Fontaine's loveliest lines…

Track length5:39
$1.00
$1.30

I realised that the passage of time…

Track length6:21
$1.00
$1.30

However, since the talent of the best writers often dries up…

Track length5:33
$1.00
$1.30

'I can't tell you how pleased I am to see you,' the duchess continued.

Track length5:58
$1.00
$1.30

To her, though…

Track length5:29
$1.00
$1.30

The past had become so transformed…

Track length6:02
$1.00
$1.30

The judgements the duchess then pronounced on Rachel…

Track length5:49
$1.00
$1.30

In the antechamber, where the couple's wait had gone…

Track length5:20
$1.00
$1.30

The life of the duchess went on being very unhappy too…

Track length5:03
$1.00
$1.30

I would certainly not have recognised him…

Track length4:43
$1.00
$1.30

Thus it was that the apparently impregnable positions…

Track length5:39
$1.00
$1.30

In fact every time I subsequently tried to see her I failed to do so…

Track length4:57
$1.00
$1.30

There is not necessarily any contradiction, though…

Track length7:19
$2.00
$2.60

To greet the duchess, she slightly bowed her fine head…

Track length4:55
$1.00
$1.30

'But how can I talk to you about stupid things like that?

Track length5:00
$1.00
$1.30

However, she did not pursue her thoughts…

Track length4:51
$1.00
$1.30

Later on this daughter…

Track length5:50
$1.00
$1.30

One might say that if I tried not to use it unconsciously…

Track length6:05
$1.00
$1.30

How happy anyone who could write such a book would be…

Track length5:57
$1.00
$1.30

The papers that Francoise called my paperies…

Track length6:05
$1.00
$1.30

It was not like that now.

Track length5:16
$1.00
$1.30

Now it did not trouble me…

Track length5:47
$1.00
$1.30

One of my selves…

Track length5:33
$1.00
$1.30

All at once, though, after a month…

Track length5:51
$1.00
$1.30

I myself had to write something different…

Track length4:50
$1.00
$1.30

I could, although the mistake would be more serious…

Track length4:54
$1.00
$1.30

At that very moment, in the Prince de Guermantes' mansion…

Track length6:37
