4. In Search of Lost Time - Proust

Somebody is a subliterate. Proust's novel is a direct translation from Shakespeare.

Therefore, "Rememberance Of Things Past."

Hilarious.

The literal translation is 'In Search of List Time'. The Shakesperian title was used upon its first English translation by Moncrfieff. It's lovely but not accurate.
