Superior Translation of Proust's Masterpiece
This is the third volume in the new English translation of Proust's "A la ricerche de temp perdu," completed in 2001 under the guise of General Editor Christopher Prendergast, in which each volume is written by a different author. This groundbreaking new edition is the first entirely original English translation of Proust's novel since C. K. Scott Moncrieff first adapted it into English back in ...

The Guermantes Way: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 3 (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)

Marcel Proust

Penguin Classics, 2005

Holy Grail of literature
If I had to send a single book to space martians, it would probably be Anna Karenina, the most concise powerhouse ever written. But as for sheer reading experience and linguistic ability, Proust is the grandmaster. In Search of Lost Time is the most staggering human achievement ever produced. Many of his famously long sentences contain more beauty than most people's complete bodies of literary ...

CHATTO AND WINDUS, 1967

The most important literary work of the 20th century
I finished Proust's magnum opus a couple of years ago. I read Swann's Way, then got about a quarter of the way through Within a Budding Grove, before stopping and taking a year's hiatus. When I returned to it I read straight through the remaining 6 volumes. Proust became for me, not so much a duty, or even a quest, but an addiction. There is really not much to add other than the fact that these ...

Proust for Dummies
I have tried, on my son's recommendation, to read Rembrance Past, but got stuck; appreciated the language and imagery, but couldn't persevere. Neville Jason reads beautifully and makes the story come to life for me, (though my son says his English accent is blasphemous, surely it should be French). I find it lyrical and very listenable, those long sentences become flowing images. Now I truly ...

PROUST: NEED ONE SAY MORE?
. This is a great copy of Vol. 2 of A la recherche du temps perdu [In Search of Lost Time]. Each volume in the septrology may be read individually as an independent novel. This is, of course, the very best translation available in English; probably the very best that will ever be available in English: certainly the next best thing to reading the original French. NOTE: Proust is not ...

Learning to swim-- my first Proust reading experience
Some time ago, I received the Vintage three-volume box set version of Remembrance as a gift. I had rashly mentioned to a friend that I wanted to read Proust and he took me at my word-- the heavy set arriving by mail and scaring me half to death. It took me a long time to get around to reading it, but I finally summoned up my courage and took down the first volume. I have many thoughts on the ...

Modern Library, 1993

High Society
In the previous two volumes of IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME, we have seen the young Marcel fantasize about love (in the persons of Gilberte and Albertine) and high society (in the person of the Duchesse de Guermantes). The bulk of THE GUERMANTES WAY's 819 pages is concerned with two parties involving the glitterati of fin-de-siecle Paris. At the party of the literary Mme de Villeparisis, Marcel gains ...
