Coinciding with the centenary of the death of Marcel Proust, this exhibition aims to help the public discover the world of a unique novelist and his great work, À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time), as well as that of his main artistic interpreter, Luis Marsans, who spent his life recreating the work.

The exhibition is presented in three sections as an introduction to the narrative world of the novel In Search of Lost Time and the role that art and music play as great literary metaphors. It features a wide selection of drawings, watercolors, gouaches and engravings through which Marsans evoked the book with a broad interpretative freedom. In the final section, the unique reception Proust’s work has received in Catalonia from the nineteen twenties to the present day—including the publication of a complete new translation with another one in progress, and the creation of a Biblioteca Proustiana Ferran Cuito and the Societat Catalana d’Amics de Marcel Proust.
