By Marcel Proust, C.K. Scott Moncrieff, Terence Kilmartin, D.J. Enright. Proust isn't just the most profound of novelists, but the most entertaining, too. No reader ever forgets his most killingly funny scenes. Proust sinks deepest in readers because the book is so exhaustively analytical, so ceaselessly truthful.

About this product

Product Information

The definitive translation of the greatest French novel of the twentieth century The definitive translation of one of the greatest French novels of the twentieth century In the opening volume of Proust's great novel, the narrator travels backwards in time in order to tell the story of a love affair that had taken place before his own birth. Swann's jealous love for Odette provides a prophetic model of the narrator's own relationships. All Proust's great themes - time and memory, love and loss, art and the artistic vocation - are here in kernel form. 'Surely the greatest novelist of the 20th century' Telegraph

  • Classic French tale of love and nostalgia translated superbly well.

    The translation was very fluid allowing the extended sentences ,much used by Marcel Proust, to be very readable.
