G'day Drublic, Thank you for your question. The longest novel ever published is À la recherche du temps perdu or Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust. It contains 13 volumes containing 1.5 million words. It is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest novel. The longest English novel is between Clarissa by Samuel Richardson and A Dance to the Music of Time by Anthony Powell (sometimes seen as a novel sequence). Mission Earth by L. Ron Hubbard is another contender containing 1.2 million words. I have attached sources for your reference.
