Remembrance of Things Past,

Pronst s great work is titled A la recherche du temps perdu in the original French and is also known as Remembrance of Things Past or In Search of Lost Time in English translations. 

Odors affect human behavior more than we realize. They are now appreciated as important in human health and disease. Above all, the powerful role of learning is impressive. Odors become associated with pleasant and unpleasant experiences and can retain their hedonic value lifelong. This applies to food, to social and sexual relationships, and to environments such as houses, workplaces, or landscapes. Writers rather than scientists have described such anecdotes. In Remembrances of Things Past, Marcel Proust evoked a flood of childhood memories by the taste of a madeleine dipped in lime-blossom tea. Jean-Paul Sartre tells in his autobiography Les Mots how the halitosis of his grade-school teacher became to him the odor of authority. 

As I mentioned in other chapters, Proust was a fascinating writer, best known for his seven-volume work. In Search of Lost Time (older English translations have used the title Remembrance of Things Past). The novel draws heavily on the Proust s own life and experiences, but he made sure that the main character also had experiences that Proust never had. Most of the book s characters were metaphors for actual people he had encountered in real life, and the characters often combine traits of several different friends or lovers. The closeness of the novel to his life is revealed on two occasions near the end of the novel, when he mentions that Marcel is the first name of the narrator.
