Marcel Proust

The eldest son of a successful Parisian doctor and teacher at the University of Paris, Proust was not obliged to earn his living but from an early age, manifested an astonishing literary ability. While he fundamentally changed worldwide the course of novel writing, he is not a readily accessible author; his main work, Remembrance of Things Past, runs to roughly twelve volumes of normal novel size. With wit, sensitivity, and generosity he dissected the upper crust of the late 19th century French society, revealing the basic relationships of human life in all their complexity and diversity. Reading Proust can be a life changing experience.
