Book description
Since the original, prewar translation there has been no completely
new rendering of the French original into English. This translation
brings to the fore a more sharply engaged, comic and lucid Proust. IN
SEARCH OF LOST TIME is one of the greatest, most enjoyable reading
experiences in any language. As the great story unfolds from its
magical opening scenes to its devastating end, it is the Penguin
Proust that makes Proust accessible to a new generation.
Each book is translated by a different, superb translator working
under the general editorship of Professor Christopher Prendergast.
Marcel Proust (1871-1922) is now generally viewed as the greatest
French novelist and perhaps the greatest European novelist of the 20th
century.
