About this product

Product Information

Proust's monumental work has been described as the masterwork of masterworks; its place in the history of world literature was assured long ago. Yet since Scott Moncrieff's original translation, there has been no brand-new rendering of the French original into English. Now, Penguin is proud to present a superb new translation of this seminal work for the twenty-first century. Tthis translation brings to the fore a more sharply engaged, comic and lucid Proust than English readers have previously been able to enjoy. Language, and its rich variety and extravagances, is very much at the centre of this translation by many hands; a team of translators is ideally placed to capture Proust's world of multiple styles and modes of writing.
