In the present study the author undertakes an exemplification of Angelika Corbineau-Hoffman’s theses concerning the parallelism between certain object descriptions and the evolution of the process of involuntary memory in Marcel Proust’s work. The author reminds of Corbineau-Hoffman’s commentaries regarding the state of fugit irreparabile tempus triggered by Proust’s description of the church of St. Hilaire and develops a parallel analysis of Thomas Mann’s description of the Buddenbrooks house towards the end of his novel. The conclusion underlines the analogy between the manners in which Proust and Thomas Mann use description as a temporal device.
