Marcel Proust is the author of 'à la recherche du temps perdu'. In my opinion, it is very well written, but also a dull and boring book.

Marcel Proust wrote In Search of Lost Time.

I believe it's À la recherche du temps perdu, written by Marcel Proust and published in France in seven volumes between 1913 and 1927. In all 'À la recherche du temps perdu' contains 9,609,000 characters which comes to just under 1,500,000 words.
