A collection of reflective essays by one of France's most celebrated twentieth-century literary figures, Tussles with Time presents Jules Romains at his most personally philosophical. Best known for his monumental novel cycle Men of Good Will, Romains here turns his formidable intellect to the nature of time, memory, and human experience, arguing with characteristic wit and precision that our relationship with the past is never truly settled. Translated into English by Gerard Hopkins, the work retains the elegant, probing tone of the original French, making Romains' meditations accessible to a broader audience. Each piece stands as a polished literary gem, illustrating the author's belief that the examined life — measured against the relentless passage of time — is the only life worth chronicling.
