Explore Memory, Time, and Desire in Cities of the Plain by Marcel Proust Part 4

Catholic Star-Rated Critique: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cities of the Plain offers profound reflections on the human condition through the lens of memory, desire, and the passage of time. Though not explicitly Catholic, Proust’s exploration of longing, unrequited love, and the fleeting nature of life touches on themes central to Catholic spirituality: the search for meaning, the impact of suffering, and the pursuit of transcendent truth. A beautifully written, if challenging, exploration of the soul's complexities—ideal for listeners who appreciate literature's deep philosophical insights.
