The history of world lit during the 20 c is now being written. Among novels of that era a small handful seems assured of permanence. There are Mann's The Magic Mountain. Joyce's Ulysses, Proust's Remembrance of Things Past & without question- Gide's #TheCounterfeiters.

"my friend" like an arrow-but an arrow which fell short, and
Passavant, letting it lie, went on: "It would be very kind of you to introduce me."
