Four years later, Proust abandoned the novel, but he worked for many storylines of this work later, in subsequent books. The writer Marcel Proust in M ​​in the newspaper Figaro published an article by Marseille Proust, in which the writer presented reasoning about the feeling of guilt and the features of human memory. These topics, obviously, worried Proust, subsequently became key in the series of novels "in search of lost time." On this epic, Proust also began work in the year.
