An accessible, irreverent guide to one of the most admired--and entertaining--novels of the past century: Rememberance of Things Past. There is no other guide like this; a user-friendly and enticing entry into the marvelously enjoyable world of Proust.

At seven volumes, three thousand pages, and more than four hundred characters, as well as a towering reputation as a literary classic, Proust's novel can seem daunting. But though begun a century ago, in 1909, it is in fact as engaging and relevant to our times as ever. Patrick Alexander is passionate about Proust's genius and appeal--he calls the work "outrageously bawdy and extremely funny"--and in his guide he makes it more accessible to the general reader through detailed plot summaries, historical and cultural background, a guide to the fifty most important characters, maps, family trees, illustrations, and a brief biography of Proust. Essential for readers and book groups currently reading Proust and who want help keeping track of the huge cast and intricate plot, this Reader's Guide is also a wonderful introduction for students and new readers and a memory-refresher for long-time fans.

Worth my money!
Love this! I purchased a high priced large umbrella from Living Spaces with a weighted plate. Well with frequent strong winds on my patio the bar just was bending and couldn’t handle it. So purchased this. Feels sturdy and it’s longer so provides more support. For sure already noticing a difference. Glad I made this purchase. Would recommend ! It also came with varying sized cylinders for different pole widths. Therefore , you will end up not using one of them. Don’t regret buying this. It works!

Bright, Versatile, and Easy to Use!
Color: Warm White
This Dual-Power Patio Umbrella Light is exactly what I needed for evening gatherings! I love that it works with both rechargeable and regular batteries—super convenient. The three lighting modes are perfect for setting the mood, whether it’s a dinner party or just relaxing outside. It clips easily onto the umbrella pole and stays secure. Great for patios and even camping. Definitely worth it!

This little light is bright!
Color: Cool White
I was looking for a light to hang with my outdoor table that has an umbrella. I did not know this was a thing! But I am glad I found it! It fits perfect, snaps right on. The light is bright enough to see the entire area located under the umbrella. I am unsure how long the battery life works as we haven't stayed out past dark more than an hour or so, but it has worked every day for a week! Awesome product, awesome idea! Why didn't I think of that!?! Totally recommend this little light!

This umbrella light is small , compact and very lightweight, you can effortlessly move it around if your changing umbrellas. I Also love how bright this little thing is, with the click of a button the place is brightly lit. Love, that you don't have to have all the lights on if you don't want to that's a stand out feature. Great little light that adds a touch of elegance. Very user-friendly, in seconds to minutes its up and running.
